Dear SQLers:

     Does SQL Server have any string escape characters besides
doubling of quotation marks as in
          'This is a single quotation mark('').'
          "This is a double quotation mark("")."
I will have text which could contain both.

     While I am at it, I want to handle any other special character
sequences.

     I am referring to plain string values as would be stored in a
column, not LIKE strings, etc.

     Why, yes, I am sanitising input.  It is from a Web browser so I
do not see how I can avoid using sanitising.  If there is such a
solution, please let me know.

Sincerely,

Gene Wirchenko
