**PROP:QuoteString **sets or returns the column name delimiter (typically a quote) that the SQL Accelerator Driver uses to surround column names within its generated SQL statements. Different backends require different delimiter characters.

You can use PROP:QuoteString to build your own dynamic SQL statements. Note that you must enclose any column names that are also SQL reserved words in the correct delimiter character. See [[using embedded sql.htm|Using Embedded SQL]].

Some backends do not correctly return the delimiter character. For those backends you should set the value of PROP:QuoteString before using it.

*NOTE: Not valid for ORACLE Accelerator
