The Compete Guide to ODBC Escape Sequences in Firebird and Interbase (with ibprovider)
ODBC Escape sequences has included in ODBC standard and allows write SQL queries which compatible with many DBMS. Firebird and Interbase does not contains own implementation for escape sequences and therefore we have implemented them in IBProvider and now users can write compatible SQL queries for Firebird and Interbase as for MS SQL Server, Oracle, My SQL, PostgreSQL, DB2 and etc.
