Thread: escape sequence conflicting w/ backup (i.e. pg_dump)

escape sequence conflicting w/ backup (i.e. pg_dump)

From

I have a postgresql DB that contains a lot of HTML code.  As you know, HTML 
contains numerous backslash( \ ) characters.  When I use pg_dump to backup 
the DB I get a "CopyReadAttribute: end of record marker corrupted" error. Is 
there any way to circumvent this problem so that I can backup a DB with HTML 
code stored in it?

Thanks,
Matias
