    TSQLScript.UseDollarString

    Enable support for dollarstrings.

    Declaration

    Source position: sqldb.pp line 767

    published property UseDollarString;

    Description

    UseDollarString enables support for so-called "DollarString" delimiters for string literals. This means that the normal string literal delimiter (') is enhanced with any string appearing in the DollarStrings property.

    Setting UseDollarString to true incurs a speed penalty, so it is better not to enable it unless it is really necessary.

    This is needed for instance for PostGreSQL, where stored procedure code blocks are enclosed in "$$" signs, and are treated as a string literal.
