What made you think that SQLite will understand C-style escape-sequences? It doesn't do that. If you're running this query from sqlite3 command line utility then try approach that Donald showed you (though maybe you'll need to add casts to text for both constants). If you're running this query from you application then things are a whole lot easier - just put into quotes real CR/LF codes using escaping that your language supports.
