In a test I just did, the sequence \" (backslash double-quote) is interpreted as just a " inside of the E'...' string constant expression. This is great, since PHP's addslashes() sticks them in along with the other stuff I really need to quote like ' and \. But I see that \" isn't documented in the manual in section 4.1.2.1. I assume this is, in fact, standard behavior for Postgres? (Perhaps a comprehensive table might be a good idea at this point in the manual.)

craig=# SELECT E'\z\v\k\-';
 ?column?
----------
 zvk-
(1 row)

From 4.1.2.1:

... "Any other character following a backslash is taken literally."

I didn't see any escape sequences being interpreted other than those that're already documented in the section of 4.1.2.1 that describes E'' strings.
