[Wellington-pm] postgres 8.x and escaping E'' style

[Andrew Boag]

As part of migrating to postgres 8.2 with our application we have
started seeing these warning messages in the logs:

WARNING:  nonstandard use of \\ in a string literal at character 230
HINT:  Use the escape string syntax for backslashes, e.g., E'\\'.

At the moment we are just logging (ignoring) these messages ... but not
forever.

I know what is causing this. It's the that postgres wants to escape
strings using the E'text to escape \' format where the forward slash
will not escape the single quote.

I would like to not have to worry about this syntax to be honest. Can't
the DBI library be updated or configured to take care of this?

Thoughts?
