Thanks, Sven. I found the "ultimate" place where strings are being prepared for INSERT INTO clause - this happens in String>>#glorpPrintSQLOn:. Not so easy to parametrize at a first glance. Maybe with WideString>>#glorpPrintSQLOn: but I'm not sure how other platforms would be happy. I decided to work on other issues right now so that I can publish a relatively decent package ASAP.
