Re: SQL syntax highlightning don't work for single backslash '\'

>When I have somewhere in text value single backslash char, then everything behind this char will not be highlighted correct.
That is because the Backslash is an ESCAPE character, so you must ESCAPE it and use two backslashes if you want it to be interpretedas a literal.
Also, do not forget to enclose your strings in quotes!
IE:
SELECT 'a' || E'\\' || 'b'
UNION ALL
SELECT 'c' || E'\\' || 'd';
