Rmarkdown SQL chunk fail to detect dollar-quoted string constants feature in postgresql database.

According to the doc from postgres website(https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/sql-syntax-lexical.html#SQL-SYNTAX-CONSTANTS), postgres has a feature to facilitate reading strings with escaped strings in session 4.1.2.4. Dollar-Quoted String Constants.

The sql query example works well in R script, but returns error in R SQL chunk.

2. Reproducible example

R script version:

library(DBI)
mydb <-
  dbConnect(
    RPostgres::Postgres(),
    password = "postgres",
    user = "postgres",
    dbname = "postgres",
    host = "localhost",
    port = 5432
  )

dbGetQuery(mydb, "SELECT $$Dianne's horse$$;")

Console returns:

	?column?
1	Dianne's horse

Markdown script version:

• R chunk

```{r}
library(DBI)
mydb <-
  dbConnect(
    RPostgres::Postgres(),
    password = "postgres",
    user = "postgres",
    dbname = "postgres",
    host = "localhost",
    port = 5432
  )

• SQL chunk

```{sql, connection=mydb}
SELECT $$Dianne's horse$$;

Error in sqlParseVariablesImpl(sql, list(sqlQuoteSpec("\"", "\""), sqlQuoteSpec("'",  : 
  Unterminated literal
Failed to execute SQL chunk

3. xfun::session_info('rmarkdown')

Since the R script version worked fine, so I guess the key may lays in rmarkdown.

Thanks for the report. I'll have a look. This could happen somewhere in knitr eng_sql() engine from where we retrieve the code chunk content to pass it to DBI::dbSendQuery().
