|
Syntax:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<alternate string literal> ::=
|
||
|
|
{ q | Q } <quote> <alternate start char> [ { <char> }... ] <alternate end char> <quote>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Syntax rules:
|
||
|
|
When <alternate start char> is '(', '{', '[' or '<', <alternate end char> is respectively
|
||
|
|
')', '}', ']' and '>'. In other cases, <alternate end char> is equal to <alternate start char>.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Notes:
|
||
|
|
Inside the string, i.e., <char> items, single (not escaped) quotes could be used.
|
||
|
|
Each quote will be part of the result string.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Examples:
|
||
|
|
select q'{abc{def}ghi}' from rdb$database; -- result: abc{def}ghi
|
||
|
|
select q'!That's a string!' from rdb$database; -- result: That's a string
