I'm wanting to use the COPY command to bulk-load data which may contain backslashes and other special characters, and I want these characters to remain intact.  Right now "\\" becomes "\", and single backslashes are lost (or modify the meaning of the following character). Is there some way (apart from pre-processing my (huge) input files) to get the data correctly  into postgres?
 
Thanks for your help,
Celia McInnis
