Interesting idea, I hadn't thought of doing it this way. The only
drawback (from my point of view) is that you have to create an SQL
statement by hand. Wherever possible I always like to avoid escaping
user input and mixing it in with some command, as I'm paranoid the
escaping mechanism will fail one day and someone will be able to break
out of it.
If there's a way of passing parameters separately to the command (SQL
statement), I would prefer that every time.
Having said that, I learnt something from reading your example so thanks
for posting :-)
Cheers,
Adam.
