The documentation about this is a little brief (reading from the
developer docs, section 4.1.2.1.).
Does the SQL standard provide no way to have a NULL character in a
string constant? Is single-quote the only special character?
If I have a system on 7.4 or 8.0 right now, what is the recommended
"right" way to write string constants with backslashes? I can't use E''
yet, so if I need to include a backslash it seems like there's no chance
it will be forward-compatible.
In the E'' constants, the special characters are only single-quote,
backslash, and NULL right?
