postgresql 8.3 doesn't like single quoted role names in the OWNER clause
Reported by azimux | August 7th, 2008 @ 11:41 AM | in 2.1.1
postgresql does not like single quoted role names for the OWNER clause
This bug prevents me from being able to create the test database successfully when doing rake test. To reproduce this simply try running rake test on any rails app while using postgresql. It might require a recent version to expose the bug. I am running 8.3.3
The fix is trivial, unquoting the ownername, but I've attatched a patch anyways

- → Tag changed from activerecord bug edge patch postgresql to 2.1 activerecord bug edge patch postgresql tiny
The bug applies to 8.2 as well, probably earlier versions too.
Adding "tiny" and "2.1" tags.

Actually the values should be quoted, but with double-quotes because they are database name references and not values.

See the contributor guide.
Creating a feature request
Please don't. If you want a new feature in Rails, you'll have to pull up your sleeves and get busy yourself. Or convince someone else to do it. See the contributor guide on how to get going. But posting them here is just going to lead to ticket root.
Creating a bug report
When creating a bug report, be sure to include as much relevant information as possible. Post the code sample that causes the problem. Preferably, alter the unit tests and show through either changed or added tests how the expected behavior is not occuring.
Security vulnerabilities should be reported via an email to security@rubyonrails.org, do not use trac for reporting security vulnerabilities. All content in trac is publicly available as soon as it is posted.
Then don't get your hopes up. Unless you have a "Code Red, Mission Critical, The World is Coming to an End" kinda bug, you're creating this ticket in the hope that others with the same problem will be able to collaborate with you on solving it. Do not expect that the ticket automatically will see any activity or that others will jump to fix it. Creating a ticket like this is mostly to help yourself start on the path of fixing the problem and for others to sign on to with a "I'm having this problem too"..
