" being quoted as \\" breaks the JSON. It needs to be \". This has been
my whole problem with COPY TO for JSON.
Please validate that the output is in proper format with correct quoting
for special characters. I use `jq` on the command line to validate and
format the output.
I just hooked existing "row-to-json machinery" up to the "COPY TO"
statement. If the output is wrong (just for for this use case?), that
would be a missing feature (or possibly a bug?).
Davin -- how did you work around the issue with the way the built in
functions output JSON?
Andrew -- comments/thoughts?
