You are right! Hence, during the process in edbc.el, it would wrap the string with quote('), and replace every quote in the string to two quotes('', not double quotes).

no, you're misunderstanding me (i think?). what you describe escapes strings - it sounds correct, but it is not what i am asking about.

for example, when using postgres you might want (for some crazy reason) to have a table called "select". you can do that with:

select * from "select";

where the "select" is not a string, but a quoted name. without the quotes it would be a syntax error (as select is a reserved word). how would that work in edbc?

Oh, I got it... It will be problem currently. I'll put it in TODO list. Thanks! ^_^
