Dear D. Hipp,
Thank you very much for getting involved in this discussion. Would you
please give a concrete example of use of quote()?
Is it something wrong with doing a:
SELECT quote('AA'AA')
Thank you very much,
Iulian.

Chris's suspicions are correct. quote() is especially useful within
triggers where the trigger generates SQL code that will undo the change the
invoked the trigger. This can be used to generate a general-purpose
undo/redo mechanism in a program that uses sqlite as its primary data
structure.
