Hi,

i migrate a ms sql server database to postgres and was trying some
queries from the application to find if everything works right...
when i was looking to those queries i found some that has a notation
for nvarchar (ej: campo = N'sometext')
i was expecting those to fail but this actually works, is that fine? i
know, we can use E'' strings but N'' ones are no where documented, so
can i rely on those or i have to change those strings?

"""
create table t1_nvarchar(col1 text);
insert into t1_nvarchar values (N'texto');
"""
