I think you need to double the quotes. Its mentioned in the PG documention 
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.1/static/arrays.html

Eg:-

postgres=# update array_test set name=E'{"meet\\\\ing"}';
UPDATE 2
postgres=# select * from array_test ;
     name
---------------
 {"meet\\ing"}
 {"meet\\ing"}
(2 rows)

Hi,

I have a column declared as array of text. I can get a single backslash into one of the array elements by
update ... set mycol[1] = E'blah \\here'
If I try to update the whole array
update ... set mycol = E'{"blah \\here"}'
the backslash is missing. I can get two backslashes there.
Is there a good way to solve the problem, other than rewriting my update script to do array updates one element at a time?

Wolfgang Hamann
