Hi all!
[using postgresql_8.4 under debian/GNU-Linux 2.6.32]
I'm trying to understand how the escape_string is supposed to work.
After writing a file ('prova12000.memo') with this single line:
-----
Vediamo se quest''altro E'\r\n' lo riconosce come un a capo E'\r\n' e questo dovrebbe essere il nuovo rigo: ''bla bla
bla''!
-----
entered the command:
$ psql mydb -c "insert into bibl_memos values(12000, '`cat prova12000.memo`');"
and got:
ERROR: syntax error at or near "\"
LINE 1: ...bl_memos values(12000, 'Vediamo se quest''altro E'\r\n' lo r...
^
Both the lines 'escape_string_warning=on' and 'standard_conforming_strings=off' are commented out in postgresql.conf.
Could somebody please explain what is going wrong?
Thanks for your attention. Regards,
ennio
