Frequently asked questions

Should I escape SQL strings by hand?

Use parameterised queries in application code. The SQL option is meant for writing one-off queries and data scripts.

Why does unescaping show an error?

The text contains an escape sequence that is not valid for the chosen format, such as \q in JSON. The message shows its position.

Is my text uploaded?
