Assuming you're using a database abstraction layer if you're worried
about needing to change DBs, it should handle the different quoting
formats between DBs.
i.e. when you are using MySQL the layer should use
mysql_real_escape_string; if you are using another DB it should use that
DB's function.
This was answered for you on the PHP list.
