Escaping special characters

[George H]

Hi I'm a bit new to derby and I got stuck with escaping special
characters like \n and \r.
I'm constructing SQL insert statements in my java program and placing
text inside which contain EOLs. They are not being escaped or
something.
I'm familiar with MySQL in that it converts all \n to \\n, this does
not seem to work with derby, what does?
