I'm sadly tasked with maintaining a little ASP code from time to time.  If you need to do it through a script, what
you'relooking for is the Replace function, as already mentioned in the thread: 

Replace( InputString, "'", "''" )

However since we're already on pgsql-sql, assuming you're not doing a whole lot more than pulling from one table and
insertinginto another, you may want to consider seeing if you can roll it into a single SQL statement: 

> INSERT INTO TABLE2 (TE_INDI) VALUES ('SANT'ANGELO LODIGIANO');

INSERT INTO TABLE2 (TE_INDI) VALUES SELECT TE_INDI FROM TABLE1 WHERE (...)

No quoting or server->client->server worries to deal with at all...
