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?
