Hi Bogdan,

correct, the postgres module does the unescaping only for DB_BLOB data, STRING 
and STR are escaped, though. According to the documentation its not necessary 
to do the unescaping for the retrieval of binary data in binary format, but i 
think we're using the text format here. Anyway, its probably not harmful even 
if its not strictly necessary. At least the cpl-c modules works now with 
postgres.

Cheers,

Henning
