Hi all;
we want to insert a single backslash into a bytea column (running postgres v
8.3.5)
this works to insert 2 backslashes (but we only want one):
insert into test_bytea_tab (id, bytea_test_col)
values(999999, '\\\\testdata'::bytea)
However none of these work:
insert into test_bytea_tab (id, bytea_test_col)
values(999999, '\\testdata'::bytea)
insert into test_bytea_tab (id, bytea_test_col)
values(999999, E'\\testdata'::bytea)
FWIW backslash_quote is set to 'safe_encoding'
Thoughts?
Thanks in advance
