And what exactly _IS_ escape character then? How do I insert a double quote? 'xxx"xxx' Is there anything else that I should watch for?

Just an observation: Small things that are a de facto standard across 95% of database systems and programing languages, like backslash is escape character, and ; is SQL statement delimiter (in SAP DB one has to use empty line starting with comment: // and AFAIQ there is no statement terminator/delimiter of any kind) can cause a _lot_ of pain especially for people porting existing code to SAP DB. Is there any chance that a more common (dare I say "standard") behaviour can be adopted for SAP DB? It would help adoption of SAP DB a lot, in my opinion?
