Hi,

I'm trying out the new 8.2 beta; the following query:

select 'ab\cd'; yields: abcd, not ab\cd.

Is there a setting I'd need to switch to enable the ANSI/ISO escape
behavior? I am using the JDBC driver; not sure if that could be the
culprit..

Thanks,
Ken

You guys, and PG ROCK!! The standard_conforming_strings mode works
beautifully... it is (was) the last low-level barrier to using PG in a
really professional/interop environment. And as I become familiar,
again, with how PG and it's tools have come along, I am SUPER impressed.
Many, many kudos!! Top notch!!

Ken

Yea, we figured standard_conforming_strings was going to be needed badly
in certain environments.
