Feb 7, 2015 at 20:52 comment added mikeserv @StéphaneChazelas - I thought it was for pasting into a command-line SQL query? But, yes, ksh derivatives do the ANSI quote strings.
Feb 7, 2015 at 20:51 comment added Stéphane Chazelas See also: a=$'\n' ksh -c 'alias foo="$a"; alias foo', or single quotes, the OP wanted the text escaped for a SQL interpreter, not a shell.
Feb 7, 2015 at 20:49 comment added mikeserv @StéphaneChazelas - yeah, that's why I used sh at the bottom - it will work even when sh is bash.
Feb 7, 2015 at 20:47 comment added Stéphane Chazelas bash does not add alias when in POSIX mode (invoked as sh or POSIXLY_CORRECT in the environment or --posix, -o posix...)
