Arrays are tricky. It depends on what you doing. Is the column an array type? There was something in docs about it. 

I was answering the backslash question which you would use quotemta because it backslash not because of array. If you putting backlsash because of arry type that's different

The reasons to quote are the reasons to use parameters. And
I don't bang my head against the wall or whine, I simply ask
on this very DBD::Pg mailing list whether the inability to
use all arrays as parameters is due to my lack of knowledge,
if it's a bug in the package, a missing feature or as $DEITY
intended. What's your take on this?
