Subject: [GENERAL] General coding question
General coding question. Can I insert a text string into a character varying column that contains a \ as is, meaning no escaping of the character or is this a bad practice?
I.e: Column data
========== ====================================
description SUBDIV LOT 13 & N1\2 LOT 14
Thanks

You never would actually store an "escaping" black-slash in the data. The need for an escape symbol occurs only during data entry and strictly depends on how you are entering data . As you have not provided those details further advice cannot be given.
