RE: Back Slash \ issue

Hi Adrian\Kiran,

Below is the issue.

We are migrating from Db2 to Postgre.

The Db2 dump consists of back Slash \ with in the data [dump] , but postgre is not escaping the Slash.

For example if name consist of Vinod\G after the inserting the dump the value in postgre is VinodG where as I need it as Vinod\G.

Since the dump is huge data I can't replace \ within the data to escape Slash.

We are using import utility provided by Postgre.

Can you please give me any solution in this regard?.

@kiran-let me also try solution you provided in the below mail.

Regards,
Vinod

Please show the command you use to import into Postgres.
Also the error message you get.
