Escaping characters

Using single and double quotation marks in CQL.

Column names that contain characters that CQL cannot parse need to be enclosed in double quotation marks in CQL.

Dates, IP addresses, and strings need to be enclosed in single quotation marks. To use a single quotation mark itself in a string literal, escape it using a single quotation mark.
