This is the standard behaviour when you select a char column: on output it 
does not have any quotes around it even though in SQL it does need them.
Only the actual characters are in the output, so it seemed natural to stay 
with this. The alternative is that a result parser would have to be 
context-sensitive when parsing strings.
