Correct, standard_conforming_strings is ON. Client side is microsoft
access doing a link table.
Would it not be the ODBC driver itself that is adding the backslashes
rather than M$ Access? Seems to me a bit strange that access would do
something of that nature.
My initial assumption was that the ODBC driver makes an assumption that
standard_conforming_strings will not be on and adjusts the table names
accordingly. The following from the mylog file seems to me to indicate
this sort of behavior:
[35520-7.722]adjust in=billing\_code(13)
[35520-7.722]adjust output=billing\\_code(14)
[35520-7.722]adjust in=public(6)
[35520-7.722]adjust output=public(6)
Up to this point in the log everything says billing_code, after this,
everything says billing\\_code.
