While trying to finish the support for standard_conforming_strings in the JDBC driver, I realized that there is also a new variable "backslash_quote" that controls whether a back-slash may be used to escape a single quote inside a string constant. Assuming the documentation is correct, this variable is not reported via ParameterStatus messages. http://developer.postgresql.org/pgdocs/postgres/protocol-flow.html#PROTOCOL-ASYNC This is a problem for the query parsing code inside the JDBC driver because it needs to know about the state of this variable so that parsing a query in the driver has the same result as in the backend. I therefore ask to add backslash_quote to the hardcoded list of variables that are reported via ParameterStatus in 8.2 as well as all back-branches that support V3 as well as the backslash_quote variable (7.4, 8.0, 8.1, I guess).
