Hello all,
I am using
modparam("unixodbc", "use_escape_common", 1)
and the result is that if I have a string like he'llo (single quote
between the e and l), it becomes he\'llo which is not working in sql.
The result should be he''llo (two single quotes between e and l). The
reason is that unixodbc uses the core function escape_common(). I think
that unixodbc whould have two parameters like
modparam("unixodbc", "use_escape_character", "'")
modparam("unixodbc", "escaped_characters", "'\%^")
use_escape_character would be null by default and if it is not null it
would be the character to use for escaping.
escaped_characters would be a list of characters that should be escaped
by the character defined above.
I have patched unixodbc to use its own escape function instead, but it
would be nice if this was a configurable option that others could use. I
could try to implement this if there is an interest. Please let me know
your thoughts.
thank you
George
