Never mind, I think I found the problem... I was utilizing the wrong database handle (!!) ..
I think it works as expected, which explains why I could find nothing on this. Please disregard.

My code uses DBI, which implements the specifics in this case via DBD::Oracle. It appears to be using backticks which oracle throws an error when it sees an invalid character. Substituting all instances of backtick with the double quote, from oracle documentation, Causes it to work and is hopefully still more secure than not using quote functions at all. Am I missing something or would this be an open or previously closed issue? Thanks, Michael Laws ----- End forwarded message -----
