Email address: [EMAIL PROTECTED] PostgreSQL version: 8.0 Beta Operating system: Any Description: Backslash ecape charcter violates ISO/ANSI spec and is hazardous Details: I can't find any option to run the server in a more standard mode for string escaping rules, of only needing to escape single quotes. The current backslash-escape behavior is a huge problem for SQL statement portability, a spec violation, and blindsides developers coming from Oracle, Sybase, MS, etc. ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 6: Have you searched our list archives? http://archives.postgresql.org
