Check out
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/7.4/interactive/libpq-exec.html#LIBPQ-EXEC-ESCAPE-BYTEA

The escape functions are located in the libpq library (PostgreSQL's native C
library), that has a Windows native port.

You may either look at the code and implement that in VB (don't think it will
perform very well though) or write a COM wrapper or something like that to make
those functions available in VB.

Best of luck,
