Of course that will cause problems.  This is the escape character in 
SQL, used extensively when inserting BLOB data.  Again, I believe 
MySQL++ would have prevented this problem, because its escape 
manipulator would have escaped the backslashes.

If you don't want to use MySQL++, then use mysql_escape_string() (or 
mysql_real_escape_string()) in the C API, which MySQL++'s escape 
manipulator is based on.
