Kristian Knudsen ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) reports a bug with a severity of 2 The lower the number the more severe it is. Short Description When inserting '\' the insert fails. Long Description When inserting '\' to a text field and there is a date column the insert fails. But only if the date insert contains time information also. Look at the code examples below. where 1) fails because of the time 21:18:05 2) is inserted ok because I omit the time info. I am using pg 7.1 on red hat 6.2 and try to port an web-application from ms-SqlServer 7.0 to pg and apache. And I want to transfer all existing data to pg.
