String literals must be enclosed in single quotes, double quotes are not supported.
Escaping works either

- in SQL-style based on a preceding single quote where the single-quote character `'` (and only this character) can be escaped as `''`, or
- in C-style based on a preceding backslash with the following supported escape sequences: `\\`, `\'`, `\b`, `\f`, `\r`, `\n`, `\t`, `\0`, `\a`, `\v`, `\xHH`. The backslash loses its special meaning and will be interpreted literally if it precedes characters different than the listed ones.

In string literals, you need to escape at least `'` and `\` using escape codes `''` (or: `\'`) and `\\`.
