Returns a quoted identifier so that you can freely insert it into a query.
<p>
This identifier can be a table or a field name.
<p>
The quoting mechanism depends on the database server driver, so this method is
needed if you need to write database-independant code.

<div class="gray"><font size="-2"><b>Example</b></font></div>
<pre class="example">' Returns the number of records in a query
' sTable is the name of the table. It can include reserved characters, so we need
' to quote it!

rResult = Handle.Exec(&quot;SELECT COUNT(*) AS nRecord FROM &quot; & DB.Quote(sTable))
PRINT rResult!nRecord</pre>
