I ran into a little inconvenience with <dtml-sqlvar spam type="string"> where spam is like "spam \n eggs" (as string, not the charcter). sql_quote escapes this to "spam \\n eggs", which is not actually what I want. Is this intended and if, why?

I think it's intended. Surely you'd want the \n to be encoded for it to be correct SQL?

And is there a workaround other then usin <dtml-var>?

Well, use dtml-var, what problems do you percieve in doing that? cheers, Chris
