Kristian Knudsen (mips(at)mips(dot)com) reports a bug with a severity of 2
The lower the number the more severe it is.

Short Description
When inserting '\' the insert fails.

Long Description
When inserting '\' to a text field and there is a date column
the insert fails.
But only if the date insert contains time information also.
Look at the code examples below.
where 1) fails because of the time 21:18:05
2) is inserted ok because I omit the time info.
I am using pg 7.1 on red hat 6.2 and try to port an web-application
from ms-SqlServer 7.0 to pg and apache.
And I want to transfer all existing data to pg.
