David Clark (dclarknospam(at)opsi(dot)co(dot)za) reports a bug with a severity of 4
The lower the number the more severe it is.

Short Description
Documentation Section 3.4 Binary Strings

Long Description
In the user guide, section 3.4 binary strings

Table 3-7 SQL Literal escaped octets shows the input escape representation for a single quote as '\\'' , but the third paragraph below table 3-8 SQL Output Escaped Octets says that the single quote must be input as '\''

Also in the same paragraph mentioned above it says input for the single quote must be '\'' (or '\\134') shouldn't this be (or '\\047')

Cheers
David.
