Question

In SQL CE if I am inserting a string (includes newlines)

N'hello
--Janet' 

It is treated as an unterminated string followed by a comment
Is there a way to escape the double dash?
(this problem refers to cqlcecmd40 as found at http://sqlcecmd.codeplex.com)

Answer 1

Being part of a string it needs no escaping.

-- is only interpreted as the start of a comment outside of strings.

Update (after question was revised):

You can do the following to achieve the same effect:

N'hello' + CHAR(13) + CHAR(10) + '--Janet'
