Building SQL strings manually isn't really good practice these days, for 
both that and other reasons. It's better to use prepared statements, 
which will fix that issue for you and will also ensure your code is not 
susceptible to SQL-injection attacks:


// Raw SQL strings (old, ugly, unsafe way):
auto name = "Fred";
auto num = 1.23;
auto sql = text(
   "INSERT INTO `myTable` (`field1`, `field2`) VALUES ('",
   mysqlEscape(name), "', ", num, ")"
);
exec(conn, sql);


// Prepared statement (good, modern, safe way):
auto name = "Fred";
auto num = 1.23;
Prepared insertSomeFields = prepare(conn,
   "INSERT INTO `myTable` (`field1`, `field2`) VALUES (?, ?)"
);
insertSomeFields.setArgs(name, num);
insertSomeFields.exec();
