Example: Difference Between Numbers and String Literals
The difference between names and string literals becomes clearer comparing the following expressions:
'12/31/96'
as a part of an expression will be interpreted as the text string "12/31/96", whereas
12/31/96
as a part of an expression will be interpreted numerically as the date Dec. 31, 1996, and assigned the corresponding
numerical value, provided that the system date format is MM/DD/YY.
Example: MS Access
Microsoft Access ODBC Driver 3.4 (included in MS Access 7.0) accepts the following quotes when analyzing
the select statement:
Field names and table names: [ ] , " " or ` `
String literals: ' '
Not accepted: ´ ´
