Re: Select with backslash '\' character

Just to clarify.

---
The below SELECT SQL was ran from the command line:

mydb=# SELECT a FROM b WHERE c = 'WORKGROUP\me'
Result = Zero rows returned.

mydb=# SELECT a FROM b WHERE c = 'WORKGROUP\\me'
Result = One row returned.

---
And from my C app.

strcpy(strID, "WORKGROUP\\me");
Result = Zero rows returned.

strcpy(strID, "WORKGROUP\\\\me");
Result = One row returned.
