This is a real pain. What I do is have a "cleanString" method that
I pass everything through when constructing SQL statements
that changes all '\' to '\\' and all seems to work just fine.
Also note that pg_dump has a bug in this area that I am unable
to get attention from anyone. In my setting, if I pass "\net" in
the actual SQL it turns into "\\net" but when read as part of a select,
it is "\net" as expected. However, pg_dump does not double-up
the backslash, so it is unusable to psql.
Anyone listening?
