POSTGRESQL BUG REPORT TEMPLATE
============================================================================
Your name : Cullin Wible
Your email address : cwible(at)tlgm(dot)com
Category : runtime: back-end
Severity : non-critical
Summary: Non alphanumeric characters in a text string
System Configuration
--------------------
Operating System : Linux 2.0.34 ELF RedHat
PostgreSQL version : 6.3.2-4
Compiler used : 2.7.2.3
Hardware:
---------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Problem Description:
--------------------
When trying to insert non-alphanumeric characters in a string
such as "\" it becomes necessary to back quote them. This
works fine, for example "\%" becomes "%" in the database, however
a "\\" stays as it is. THis makes it impossible to ever end
up with the text "\*" in the databse. If you try the logical
"\\\*" to do that, it results in "\\*" which is not what I wanted.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Test Case:
----------
Try inserting any data in the above format.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Solution:
---------
Fix the function wich un-does the back quoteing.
