Both versions are better than the current quoteString() for purposes of the MySQL driver. However... PHP has mysql_escape_string(), which is specifically intended for this kind of quoting. Wouldn't it be better for the MySQL driver to overload quoteString() with a method that calls mysql_escape_string() ?
Another question about quoteString() : should it produce a literal NULL (no quotes) when handed an unset value? Or is there some other convention for producing NULLs in query strings?
