Hello

I've used oracle for 10years,but I've never seen such notations.

In fact the SQL retuns an error .

<PostgreSQL>

postgres=# select E'\\';
 ?column?
----------
 \
(1 row)

<ORACLE(10.2.0)>

SQL> select E'\\' from dual;
select E'\\' from dual
        *
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00923: FROM keyword not found where expected

--Of cource,this SQL works.
SQL> select '\\' from dual;

'\
--
\\

--or

SQL> set escape on
SQL> select '\\' from dual;

'
-
\


Sorry ,but I don't know SQLServer.



Hi!, maybe is a silly question but...

Exists some syntax standard to escape  especial characters on querys???

i mean, the notation E'\\   to  escape especial characters only works
in postgres (8.3.11) or this works on oracle, ms sql server too???

regards, eddie.
