It is working:

postgres=# select '"Hello"';
┌──────────┐
│ ?column? │
╞══════════╡
│ "Hello"  │
└──────────┘
(1 row)

postgres=# select trim(both '"' from '"Hello"');
┌───────┐
│ btrim │
╞═══════╡
│ Hello │
└───────┘
(1 row)

Another simple solution would be:

SELECT REPLACE('"Hello"', '"', '');

SELECT TRIM('"Hello"', '"');

I used the above code to remove quotes from a column containing strings wrapped in double quotes:

SELECT trim(lower(content_category), '"') FROM Content;

Here I nested a function, lower, inside another function TRIM. IT WORKED FINE.
