18.5.1 The "[...]" Syntax

The square bracket syntax for the SQL interface is heavily overloaded to provide the most intuitive behavior in all situations. There are three uses of square brackets:

  1. To enclose a database identifier
  2. To construct an SQL string representing a symbolic expression
  3. To enclose literal SQL

Each of these uses is demonstrated below.

18.5.1.1 Enclosing database identifiers

18.5.1.2 SQL strings representing symbolic expressions

18.5.1.3 Calling database functions

18.5.1.4 Enclosing literal SQL
