The escaping is Ok either way for MySQL, IIRC ;-) The class is kind of funny the
way it wound up (irrelevant wrapper for a variable in a loop). I was thinking something
bigger, but then I wanted a quick and dirty demo to make the given formatting code work
unchanged.

But if there's a place for config data that connects to a particular database engine,
it could probably also have the name of a module with suitable encoding functions?

Or is the problem connecting to a totally unknown end database engine type? ODBC?
