---------------------------------------
Status: Open (was: Patch Available)
> [CQL] Inconsistent handling double dollar sign for strings
> ----------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: CASSANDRA-13958
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-13958
> Project: Cassandra
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Legacy/CQL
> Reporter: Hugo Picado
> Assignee: Michał Szczygieł
> Priority: Low
>
> Double dollar signs is a [built-in method for escaping columns that may
> contain single quotes in its
> content](https://docs.datastax.com/en/cql/3.3/cql/cql_reference/escape_char_r.html).
> The way this is handled however is not consistent, in the sense that it
> allows for $ to appear in the middle of the string but not in the last char.
> *Examples:*
> Valid: insert into users(id, name) values(1, $$john$$)
> Inserts the string *john*
> Valid: insert into users(id, name) values(1, $$jo$hn$$)
> Inserts the string *jo$hn*
> Valid: insert into users(id, name) values(1, $$$john$$)
> Inserts the string *$john*
> Invalid: insert into users(id, name) values(1, $$john$$$)
> Fails with:
> {code}
> Invalid syntax at line 1, char 48
> insert into users(id, name) values(1, $$john$$$);
> {code}
