However, when there is adifference between what the provider allows for this character and what the DBMSallows, the QUOTE_CHAR= option overrides the character returned by the provider.Microsoft SQL Server: QUOTE_CHAR= overrides the Microsoft SQL Server default.ODBC: This option is mainly for the ODBC interface to Sybase, and you should use itwith the DBCONINIT and DBLIBINIT LIBNAME options. QUOTE_CHAR= overridesthe ODBC default because some drivers return a blank for the identifier delimiter eventhough the DBMS uses a quotation mark—for example, ODBC to Sybase.
