Escape a string to be used as part of a query

Usage

String escape( String val )

Arguments

val The String to escape

Overview

Escapes backslashes, apostrophes and quotes in a string to protect against SQL injection attacks. This function should be used only as a last resort - prepared statements using DB.prepare (3kaya) and DB.execPrepared (3kaya) are supported by all database libraries, and are far less prone to human error.
