We have an application that uses SQL CE 3.1 as its embedded database.
Frequently in the application, we must store strings with apostrophes, quotes, and all kinds of other stuff. It's totally unwieldy to try and manually escape every nonstandard character in every string... this is why we need to know how to handle this issue for all possible input.
What is the best method we can use to store any string, no matter what characters occur in it? The reason we must now improve our string handling is that we are now being required to store MD5 hashes of files for security and duplicate file avoidance, and these hashes usually break our import functions.
