I recently installed the latest non-beta version 8.2 of postgresql.

 

I get the following warning and hint in the server status GUI:

 

WARNING:    nonstandard use of \\ in a string literal at characters 64

HINT:       Use the excape string syntax for backslashes, e.g, E’\\’.

 

The “raw” string I want to write is:

 

[\x09-\x0A\x0D\x20-\x2F\x3A-\x40\x5B-\x60\x7B-\x7E]MI[\x09-\x0A\x0D\x20-\x2F\x3A-\x40\x5B-\x60\x7B-\x7E]

 

After escaping, I write:                                          _ 64th

                                                                 /

[\\x09-\\x0A\\x0D\\x20-\\x2F\\x3A-\\x40\\x5B-\\x60\\x7B-\\x7E]MI[\\x09-\\x0A\\x0D\\x20-\\x2F\\x3A-\\x40\\x5B-\\x60\\x7B-\\x7E]

 

Assuming the count starts at 0, the character at position 64 is the [ character.

 

I’ve read an earlier post that tells of how to SUPRESS the warning.  I want to eliminate the warning.

 

TIA
