> Project: Calcite
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: core

> Support string constants with c-style escapes. Example:
> {code:java}
> select e'\u0061\x61\141' as col1;
> col1
> ------
> aaa
> (1 row)
> {code}
> From PostgreSQL documentation [4.1.2.2. String Constants With C-Style
> Escapes|https://www.postgresql.org/docs/14/sql-syntax-lexical.html#SQL-SYNTAX-CONSTANTS]:
> An escape string constant is specified by writing the letter {{E}} (upper or
> lower case) just before the opening single quote, e.g., {{{}E'foo'{}}}. (When
> continuing an escape string constant across lines, write {{E}} only before
> the first opening quote.) Within an escape string, a backslash character (\)
> begins a C-like _backslash escape_ sequence, in which the combination of
> backslash and following character(s) represent a special byte value, as shown
> in Table:
> ||Backslash Escape Sequence||Interpretation||
> |\b|backspace|
> |\f|form feed|
> |\n|newline|
> |\r|carriage return|
> |\t|tab|
> |\o, \oo, \ooo (o = 0–7)|octal byte value|
> |\xh, \xhh (h = 0–9, A–F)|hexadecimal byte value|
> |\uxxxx, \Uxxxxxxxx (x = 0–9, A–F)|16 or 32-bit hexadecimal Unicode character
> value|
> I suggest to not introduce any configuration flags for this feature because
> it seems like it does not contradict with any SQL dialect and it shouldn't
> slow down queries parsing.
