note 11774 added to AddSlashes

FYI, Quoting the single quote (') as ('') is not an Oracle stle, or a Sybase style, or any other vendor-specific style. It is the ANSI SQL (i.e. SQL standard) style. Using blackslahes to escape characters is a proprietary extension that some databases have. If you want your SQL to be portable across databases, don't use it. For example (on PostgreSQL): => create table t (s varchar(64)); CREATE => insert into t values ('one''two"three'''); INSERT 206474 1 wapkey=> select * from t; s ---------------- one'two"three' (1 row) ... as expected, as per the standard. http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.addslashes.php
