On a closer look, I see three different places in the functions-matching.html page that talk about doubling backslashes, of which this one might be the least bogus, since it at least provides a cross-reference to someplace where you would read about standard_conforming_strings. I suggest replacing the first and third cases with something along the lines of Note: if you have standard_conforming_strings turned off, any backslashes you write in literal string constants will need to be doubled. See Section 4.1.2.1 for more information. The second case is just a parenthetical comment and perhaps could be removed. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
