It is slightly more complicated than that, since if the value is numeric and
going into a numeric field, then it's not supposed to be quoted. (MySQL
generally doesn't care, but some other databases may; I'm not certain.)
I'm actually currently in the midst of getting this functionality added to the
Drupal CMS. Feel free to look at the patch I've submitted[1]. It has some
Drupal-isms in it, but for the most part is fairly clear. It also handles
insert, update, and delete, too.
