X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.04 [en] (Win95; U) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: pgsql-interfaces@postgresql.org Subject: [INTERFACES] Escape Characters Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit I am trying to insert/update information in a char field, and unfortunately the information can include any of the printable ascii characters. The problem that I am having is that ocassionally a "\" character is present and is subsequently ignored when the data is inserted/updated. I have tried inserting and additional "\", but the data inserted/updated then contains two "\" characters. If anyone could help, I would appreciate it. Thanks in advance. John
