| 291639118 | MDU6SXNzdWUyOTE2MzkxMTg= | 183 | Custom Queries - escaping strings | 82988 | closed | 0 | 2 | 2018-01-25T16:49:13Z | 2019-06-24T06:45:07Z | 2019-06-24T06:45:07Z | CONTRIBUTOR | If a SQLite table column name contains spaces, they are usually referred to in double quotes: `SELECT * FROM mytable WHERE "gappy column name"="my value";` In the JSON metadata file, this is passed by escaping the double quotes: `"queries": {"my query": "SELECT * FROM mytable WHERE \"gappy column name\"=\"my value\";"}` When specifying a custom query in `metadata.json` using double quotes, these are then rendered in the *datasette* query box using single quotes: `SELECT * FROM mytable WHERE 'gappy column name'='my value';` which does not work. Alternatively, a valid custom query can be passed using backticks (\`) to quote the column name and single (unescaped) quotes for the matched value: ``"queries": {"my query": "SELECT * FROM mytable WHERE `gappy column name`='my value';"}`` | 107914493 | issue | {"url": "https://api.github.com/repos/simonw/datasette/issues/183/reactions", "total_count": 0, "+1": 0, "-1": 0, "laugh": 0, "hooray": 0, "confused": 0, "heart": 0, "rocket": 0, "eyes": 0} | completed |
