Yes.

Good question! :-)
I might be missing something (i'm still new to the source myself) but
there should probably be a Connection::escape_string() function that
uses the Connection's MYSQL*.
The only place in mysqlcppapi that escapes a string uses
mysql_escape_string() so doesn't need the MYSQL* (and doesn't respect
the current character set)
Murray, I'll prepare a patch that adds an escape_string() or escape()
function (any preference of name?) as I already have something similar
in my mysql wrapper. Some other DB API wrappers I've seen provide an
escape_string_literal() function that escapes a string and encloses it
in quotes, but I think this is redundant - how hard is it to add quotes
manually?
