Hi,

 

I am currently using pgcrypto functions (encrypt(), decrypt()) on postgresql 7.4.1. There seems to be a problem when ever I try to insert a string that contains “\\” (2 slashes next to each other”). it gives an error message saying that it is not a valid entry for type bytea. I am using rijndael as the algrothim.

 

Can any one tell me why this would be happening? Thanks for your time

 

Thanks

Ismail
