String Constants, the following note appears: Note: While ordinary strings now support C-style backslash escapes, future versions will generate warnings for such usage and eventually treat backslashes as literal characters to be standard-conforming. That future version is 8.2, so the note should be updated to reflect it. (But the wording must be changed, because AFAICT that note was written when we thought that standard_conforming_strings would be read-only, I think). -- Alvaro Herrera http://www.CommandPrompt.com/ PostgreSQL Replication, Consulting, Custom Development, 24x7 support
