Hi group,

I am converting an existing MySQL database application (very old version of
MySQL) to FB 2.x.

I writing the code to emulate the calls made to the MySQL Classes, I have
come across a call to mysql_escape_string() which effectively escapes a
string by pre-pending a \ to certain characters. For example, a string like
this XA00 is the value will be returned as follows \XA00 is the value. This
is apparently to make the string safe to pass to MySQL in a query.

Is there something similar for Firebird, and is it in fact necessary?

Regards,

Norman
