Description
recieved this error:
DatabaseLoader.run(): Error message: ERROR: syntax error at or near "only"
regarding this line:
INSERT into ... calm','"adrift; CTD dropped to 100' only; slight breeze"'
It seems that if a single quote is present within the data being entered it is not escaped. On this line "only" is seen as a postgres command since "100'" came before it.

We should be escaping the special characters in any value using backslash.
Not sure this is currently going through the DatabaseAdaptor classes like the table and column names are...but that'd be the best approach so that different RDBMS can use their particular escape strategy.
