and, for extra fun, if that SQL statement is a constant string in a C or
similar programming language, you may well need to double up those \'s
again so that SQL sees them as the C/C++/etc parser itself does \ escaping.
sql_command = "select MM_PATH_FILE from MULTI_MEDIA Where
MM_PATH_FILE NOT ILIKE E'%\\\\\\\\%';"
Seriously, MS Windows programmers really really should use / for
paths... the windows API's are all perfectly happy with these. only the
command parser insists on \ as a path delimiter.
