Hey James, Because in future releases the default value of the "standard_conforming_strings" parameter will change to "on" for improved standards compliance. You should use string constants with C-Style escapes. Please, see http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.4/static/sql-syntax-lexical.html#SQL-SYNTAX-CONSTANTS for details.
