more database escaping

In setting up a new database, new pages, new site, on a shared server, these thoughts come to mind: 1/ Does anybody keep a table of config values in which the database was originally designed for? (and one in each database for a site, for that matter) Example CREATE TABLE site_name_design_cfg_vals( name VARCHAR(32), value VARCHAR(32), PRIMARY KEY name ) TYPE='MYIASM'; Some values I would store, for example, would be: 'single_quote_escape', ''' 'double_quote_escape', '\' Then, before insertions are made into the database, these values are checked, and only the right values are put in. This makes it easy to move between sites, or databases. -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- Joy is just a thing (to be).. raised on, Love is just the way to Live and Die, John Denver. ----------------------------------------------------------------- He lost a friend, but kept his Memory (also John Denver), Thank you...John Corones...my friend always. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Look lovingly upon the present, for it holds the only things that are forever true. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Sincerely, Dennis Gearon (Kegley)
