Hi Daniel,

Without seeing the entire query I can't be sure, but I'm guessing there
should be a single quote after "Melanges" and before the semicolon.
(Remember that all strings in Postgres need to be in single quotes, so
unless the semicolon is actually part of the string and not the SQL
statement, that's the cause of the syntax error.)

HTH,
Jeremy
