+\membersection{wxDb::EscapeSqlChars}\label{wxdbescapesqlchars}

+\func{wxString}{EscapeSqlChars}{\param{const wxString\& }{value}}
+
+This function is used internally by wxWidgets while building SQL statements.
+It has been provided to help users who wish to explicity construct SQL
+statements to be sent to the server. The function takes the value passed and
+returns it with any special characters escaped. Which characters are
+considered special depends on what type of datasource the object is connected
+to. For example, most database servers use a backslash as the escape
+character; if the value passed contains a backlash it will be replaced with a
+double backslash before it is passed to the server. This function can be used
+to avoid passing statements with syntax errors to the server as well as prevent
+SQL injection attacks.
