String literals and escape characters in postgresql

Question

Attempting to insert an escape character into a table results in a warning.

For example:

create table EscapeTest (text varchar(50));

insert into Es         


        

Answer 1

The warning is issued since you are using backslashes in your strings. If you want to avoid the message, type this command "set standard_conforming_strings=on;". Then use "E" before your string including backslashes that you want postgresql to intrepret.
