I fond another collateral problem, because there are the different 
convention to describe a varchar array item which contains backslashes, when 
standard_conforming_strings = 'on'

For instance, to get a string composed by just one character backslash I can 
use any of the two forms:

    SELECT ARRAY[ '\' ]::varchar[];

or

    SELECT '{\\}'::varchar[];

On the other hand, standard_conforming_strings = 'on' let me use varchar 
items with '\' format. So the first format seems to be aware of 
standard_conforming_strings = 'on', but the second is not.

My problem is that the java driver build arrays using the second format, but 
the driver seems to be aware of standard_conforming_strings = 'on'. This 
make inconsistence using the statement parameters, because to get the same 
thing in the database I have to initialize a varchar parameter with a string 
of one backslashes, but a varchar array item has to be initialized with a 
string of two backslashes.
