I need to insert a path into a table, but because "\" I have a error by
postgres, so how can I insert a path like bellow into a table:

TIP 2: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster

If you are on 8.1 you can use double qoutes ( 'C:\\Program Files\\My
program' ) on in 8.2 you can use the new "backslash_quote (string)"
setting.

You can find help on "backslash_quote (string)" at -->

In v8.0 and later you can use dollar-quoted strings, e.g.,

select $_$C:\Program Files\My program$_$;
?column?
-----------------------------
C:\Program Files\My program

For 8.2, you can turn on standard_conforming_strings in
postgresql.conf so \ will be treated literally:
