Re: Double quotes throws off SQL syntax colouring

I think the double quotes may be a red herring, as the issue is really the backslash. I've just tried with single quotes and a backslash is treated as escaping a closing quote, despite it not being an escape character in SQL (I'll admit I'm only familiar with Oracle though so perhaps '\' has some special significance in other SQL dialects.)

I can't say I've hit this issue before, but if you wanted to replace backslashes with forward slashes and you used

replace(somecolumn, '\', '/')

that would mess up syntax highlighting as the first quoted string would be treated as ending at the third quote.
