 but if i update more then two times then it remove all '\';

But i want 'A\\d\\d\\d\\d' and 'B\\d\\d\\d\\d' after n number of updates.

i.e. no change in inserted value after n numbers of updates for that record.

If you don't change change the values of the usr_filename_pattern in the update (in the SET clause), those values should not change.

test=# select * from tab1;
usr_id | usr_name | usr_filename_pattern
--------+----------+----------------------
A      | Mr. A    | A\d\d\d\d
A      | Mr. B    | A\\d\\d\\d\\d
(2 rows)

test=# update tab1 set usr_name = 'Mr. C' where usr_id = 'A';
UPDATE 2
test=# select * from tab1;
usr_id | usr_name | usr_filename_pattern
--------+----------+----------------------
A      | Mr. C    | A\d\d\d\d
A      | Mr. C    | A\\d\\d\\d\\d

I suspect there is some additional SQL code being executed by your Java application. You may want to enable query logging and check the PostgreSQL logs to see exactly what queries are being executed.
