I'm not clear why human readability is the major criterion here. As for that, it will be quite difficult for a human to distinguish a name with a space at the end from one without.

Agreed. Besides, this: 16387 E:\\Program\ Files\\PostgreSQL\\tbs is almost as human-readable as this: 16387 E:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\tbs It's obvious how the escaping works, just by looking at the file. - Heikki -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
