accepts-n-syntax

Description

The function accepts-n-syntax returns nil-t-required to indicate the behavior of the N syntax for string literals in the database specified by database. (The N syntax prefixes a string literal by the character N.)

nil-t-required can be one of:

nil

the database will give an error.

T

the database accepts it but does not require it.

:required

the database requires it (at least in some cases).

Currently, Microsoft SQL Server (which can be used via ODBC) is the only supported database that requires the N syntax for non-ASCII strings. SQLite and Microsoft Access (via ODBC) give errors. The other supported databases accept the syntax but do not need it.

If you use the Symbolic SQL syntax, then you can use the string pseudo-operator, which is described in SQL string literals to obtain the correct syntax.
