According to the documentation,
INSERT INTO thing (name) VALUES ('Smith E'\\'& Jones');
must work. But it doesn't. So, double the enclosed quotes:
INSERT INTO thing (name) VALUES ('Smith E''\\''& Jones');
Doesn't.
It works fine, but with a warning, as
INSERT INTO thing (name) VALUES ('Smith \\& Jones');
But it mightn't if I upgrade from 8.2.3. Deprecated. Can't risk it.
So 40,000 years from now I'll be on 8.2.3.
I could be wrong, but shouldn't it be:
INSERT INTO thing (name) VALUES ('Smith E'\\& Jones');
I'm not sure why you're including an extra single or double-quote in the string.
