I see in quote.c::do_quote_ident():
*cp2++ = '"';while (len-- > 0){ if (*cp1 == '"') *cp2++ = '"'; if (*cp1 == '\\') *cp2++ = '\\';
*cp2++= *cp1++;}*cp2++ = '"';
I am confused by the backslash handling. In my tests, a backslash in a
double-quoted string does not require two backslashes:test=> create user "a\d";CREATE USERtest=> select usename,
length(usename)from pg_user; usename | length ----------+-------- a\d | 3
This is because a double-quote in a double-quoted string is entered as
"", not \".
Is it adding another backslash because it assumes the result will appear
in another quoted string?
