How do I put double quotes in a postgres string?
I tried to precede them with a backslash but that did not work:
* create test(a=char16)\g
Query sent to backend is "create test(a=char16)"
CREATE
Go
* append test(a="\"")\g
unknown escape given
Go
*
Query sent to backend is "append test(a="")"
APPEND 48924
Go

the monitor uses backslash as its escape character. use two:
* append test(a="\\"hello world\\"")\g
