Re: quote string exactly as it is

Hello,

How can I quote a string *exactly* as it is? I tried using
quote_literal() but it doesn't return what I need in some cases.

E.g.

If my
string is: ss\\\ss

And I do:

select quote_literal('ss\\\ss');

I get:


E'ss\\ss'  <-- My string now has E'' added and one backslash has been removed!
