I understand that we have an issue, with Slony-I, concerning the new
"standards_conforming_strings" option in 8.2.
Slony-I uses the "legacy" quoting conventions, which, such as it is,
is fine.
If a particular server is set to standards_conforming_strings=on, this
will presumably lead to certain bits of "breakage."
Is that a GUC variable that may be overridden in the fashion of
datestyles? (e.g. - inside Slony-I, we set DateStyle = USE_ISO_DATES
in those places where it's needful)
Could that variable be escape_backslash? (described in c.h...)
/** Support macros for escaping strings. escape_backslash should be TRUE * if generating a non-standard-conforming
string. Prefixing a string * with ESCAPE_STRING_SYNTAX guarantees it is non-standard-conforming. * Beware of
multipleevaluation of the "ch" argument! */
e.g. - we might force non-standard-conforming via a code segment like...
{ int Oldescape_backslash; Oldescape_backslash = escape_backslash; escape_backslash = TRUE; do some
stuff...
escape_backslash = Oldescape_backslash;
}
