That's not a good solution as '??' is a perfectly valid operator. ISTR seeing it used somewhere in the wild, but I could be wrong. > In that case my vote is new operators. This has been a sore point for the > JDBC driver Um, no, new operators is a bad idea. Question marks are used by hstore, json, geometry, and who knows what else. I think the onus is solely on JDBC to solve this problem. DBD::Pg solved it in 2008 with the pg_placeholder_dollaronly solution, and earlier this year by allowing backslashes before the question mark (because other parts of the stack were not able to smoothly implement pg_placeholder_dollaronly.) I recommend all drivers implement \? as a semi-standard workaround.
