14.5.1 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.

14.5.1.1 Enclosing database identifiers

14.5.1.2 SQL strings representing symbolic expressions

14.5.1.3 Enclosing literal SQL
