I am trying to learn PostgreSQL on my own for a side project this summer. I keep running into a problem when I insert items into a tutorial database I am using while I read through a book I found. On the command line for PSQL it shows the database name then a => or =# which i understand and if I continue onto multiple lines it changes to -> or -#. The problem I am having is that on insert statements it sometimes changes to '> and then is unresponsive and I have to close the PSQL shell down and reopen it to continue playing around. I have tried to research what it means and how to break out of the unresponsive state but I honestly don't know what to even look up. I have skimmed through the manual for 9.2 and read through this book but I can't figure it out. Can anyone please explain to me what '> means so I can figure out what I am doing wrong and possibly be able to fix my errors?
