I would recommend that you do not allow backslash in usernames. It is not safe to allow users to include special characters, they can (at worse) expose your application to SQL Injections exposing all of your data to them.

Other than that, (I don't know of an Objective-C solution but) try using a parameterized query so that it doesn't break your command and executes it fairly.
