Have you tried this, I do this all the time on special needs

Just before the insert issue this 
<@ASSIGN noSQLEncoding true>

And just after the statement issue this
<@ASSIGN noSQLEncoding false>

Subject: Witango-Talk: noSQLEncoding ini setting

I searched through the forum archives and saw some posts regarding Witango
5.5 and SQL encoding in DirectDBMS actions. It sounds like people WERE
able to get the noSQLEncoding=false setting in the 5.5 witango.ini to
automatically quote meta tag values. This doesn't seem to be working for
me, requiring me to add "encoding=sql" to all meta tag variables in my SQL
insert/update statements. Is this .ini setting fried in 5.5 (Win32) or am
I doing something wrong? Thank you.

We're using: Witango Application Server 5.5.009 Liquorice (Win32)
[Professional Edition]

This worked in 5.0:

[in witango.ini]   NOSQLENCODING=false

INSERT INTO users ( user_id, user_name, date)
VALUES (<@VAR name="user_id" scope="local">, '<@VAR name="user_name"
scope="local">', sysdate)

-- producing the extra single quote in the user's name, O'Malley (damn
Irish :)
INSERT INTO users ( user_id, user_name, date)
VALUES ( 1, 'O''Malley', sysdate)

In 5.5, I have to add encoding=sql to my meta tags even though I have
NOSQLENCODING=false set in the witango.ini

[in witango.ini]   NOSQLENCODING=false

INSERT INTO users ( user_id, user_name, date)
VALUES (<@VAR name="user_id" scope="local">, '<@VAR name="user_name"
scope="local" encoding="sql">', sysdate)

INSERT INTO users ( user_id, user_name, date)
VALUES ( 1, 'O''Malley', sysdate)

noSQLEncoding
Valid in all scopes This configuration variable determines whether text in
Direct DBMS actions is SQL-encoded by default (single quote characters
doubled). The default value is false. Setting the value to true turns off
automatic SQL-encoding in Direct DBMS actions. If noSQLEncoding is set to
true, you can use the ENCODING=SQL attribute on most value-returning meta
tags to SQL-encode the value returned by that meta tag. 


>From the "Witango 5.5 Programmer's Guide" page 73 (89 in PDF).
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------
The SQL encoding type converts the specified value by doubling all
occurrences of the single quote character. Witango Server automatically
performs SQL encoding on meta tag values substituted in Direct DBMS SQL,
except when the configuration variable noSQLEncoding is set to true. The
SQL ENCODING attribute value is generally appropriate only when
noSQLEncoding is set to true, and allows you to toggle SQL encoding on or
off for particular meta tags.
