Any other character following a backslash is taken literally. Thus, to include a backslash character, write two backslashes (\\). Also, a single quote can be included in an escape string by writing \', in addition to the normal way of ''.

But it doesn't seem to work.  Obviously there's some misconfiguration or , but I don't see what I did wrong.

TAP=# insert into foo (name, description) values ('XYZ_Name ', '''XYZ ''');
INSERT 0 1

TAP=# insert into foo (name, description) values ('XYZ_Name ', '\'XYZ ');
TAP'#
TAP'# ');
ERROR:  syntax error at or near "XYZ"
LINE 1: ...into foo (name, description) values ('XYZ_Name ', '\'XYZ ');
