    I am not sure if I am getting this correct but you

    • have a lot of data
    • you want to insert them into database with regular SQL commands
    • most of data requires escaping.

    So you have no much options. Since there is no direct binary mode in MySQL you

    • either execute SQL script with escaping
    • you will write parametrized queries and insert data directly with some custom tool you will write.

    If choosing first approach have a look at MySQL manual for some escaping string details. Particularly you may escape one backslash \ with double backslashes \\ sequence. Also have a look at NO_BACKSLASH_ESCAPES, which eliminates need for escaping completly.
