Backslashes in 8.2 still escape, hwo to disable?

[Ken Johanson <pg-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I'm trying out the new 8.2 beta; the following query:

select 'ab\cd'; yields:	abcd, not ab\cd.

Is there a setting I'd need to switch to enable the ANSI/ISO escape 
behavior? I am using the JDBC driver; not sure if that could be the 
culprit..

Thanks,
Ken
