It's Postgres, actually, which thinks it is C even though it's just an RDBMS that happens to be written in C.
The PG folks want to be SQL92 compliant but unfortunately there's such a large user base that the chances of them changing this are about as high as the chances of Oracle deciding that '' isn't the same as NULL.
We should be double-backslashing quoted strings ... hmmm ... I might be able to do that in the driver.
For real grins see what happens if you stick backslash-zero-zero-zero in your post!
