About SQL String Escaping

SQL string escaping is a critical security measure that converts special characters in strings to their escaped equivalents, preventing SQL injection attacks. This is essential when:

Building SQL queries dynamically with user input
Inserting strings containing quotes or special characters
Protecting your database from malicious input
Working with legacy systems that don't use parameterized queries

Example Queries

Here's how escaped strings would be used in actual SQL queries:

MySQL Example

SELECT * FROM users WHERE username = 'escaped_string_here';

PostgreSQL Example

INSERT INTO products (name, description) VALUES ('escaped_name', 'escaped_description');

SQL Server Example

UPDATE employees SET notes = 'escaped_notes' WHERE id = 123;

Important Security Note

While string escaping helps prevent SQL injection, parameterized queries (prepared statements) are the recommended approach for maximum security. Use this tool when:

Working with legacy systems that don't support parameterized queries
Building dynamic SQL where parameters aren't possible
Need to escape strings for other purposes like logging
