Re[2]: Problems with varchar/text

I'm using ColdFusion with a native PostgreSQL-Driver. OS is Linux, and
my insert-statement looks like this:

INSERT INTO billing (billnumber) VALUES (00086901)

> Maybe you have forgot to quote the string.

> Could you mail us the exact SQL that you use to insert the data.
