I think this might be giving you a false sense of security. It looks
like I wasn't the only one to think you're probably doing something
unsafe. If you're interested in improving your code to make sure this
can never be a problem, look into bind variables (and prepared
statements). If you're directly interpolating variables into a query
string, you're just asking for trouble, regardless of what quoting
method you're using.
