It gets the backslashes in the output because the " need to be escaped there too ('cause it's an array). But if you output a single element, they are not there: alvherre=# insert into f values (E'{"text \\"for you\\" some"}'); INSERT 0 1 alvherre=# select * from f; a --------------------------- {"text \"for you\" some"} (1 fila) alvherre=# select a[1] from f; a --------------------- text "for you" some (1 fila) -- Alvaro Herrera http://www.CommandPrompt.com/ The PostgreSQL Company - Command Prompt, Inc. -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
