[BUGS] When inserting '\' the insert fails.
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.

Your examples work fine for me: regression=# create table t3 (tt text, date timestamp); CREATE regression=# INSERT INTO t3 ( tt,date ) regression-# VALUES ( 'aaa ''\\'' ','2000-10-30 21:18:05' ); INSERT 5814810 1 regression=# INSERT INTO t3 ( tt,date ) regression-# VALUES ( 'eqwehqw ''\\'' dsdsa','2000-10-30') ; INSERT 5814811 1 regression=# select * from t3; tt | date --+ aaa '\' | 2000-10-30 21:18:05-05 eqwehqw '\' dsdsa| 2000-10-30 00:00:00-05 (2 rows) I suspect the problem is somewhere in your application code. You might try turning on query logging at the postmaster to see what's actually being transmitted to the backend by the application. regards, tom lane ---(end of broadcast)--- TIP 4: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster
