String literals and escape characters in postgresql | Attempting to insert an escape character into a table results in a warning. 


For example:



```
create table EscapeTest (text varchar(50));

insert into EscapeTest (text) values ('This is the first part \n And this is the second');

```

Produces the warning:



```
WARNING:  nonstandard use of escape in a string literal

```

(*Using PSQL 8.2*)


Anyone know how to get around this?
