694- * Escapes a raw SQL query string to be safely used in an SQL statement,
695- * including handling of single quotes, backslashes, and line breaks,
696- * based on the active database type.
694+ * Escapes a raw SQL string value so it can be safely embedded inside
695+ * an SQL statement according to the active database dialect.
697696 *
698- * This function does **not** quote the entire string with `'` — it is intended
699- * for use in building safe query fragments or inline strings.
697+ * This method performs **SQL literal escaping only** and does NOT:
698+ * - Add surrounding quotes (`'...'`)
699+ * - Escape or transform newline characters (`\n`, `\r`)
700+ * - Replace or normalize whitespace
701+ *
702+ * Newline characters are preserved as-is and stored correctly
703+ * in the database. This avoids issues where line breaks would be
704+ * converted into literal `\n` sequences.
700705 *
701706 * Behavior per database:
702- * - MySQL/MariaDB: Escapes `'` as `\'` and `\` as `\\`
703- * - PostgreSQL : Escapes `'` as `''` and `\` as `\\` (assumes use with E'' literals)
704- * - SQLite : Escapes `'` as `''`; backslash is literal
705- * - SQL Server : Escapes `'` as `''`; backslash is literal
707+ * - MySQL / MariaDB:
708+ * - Escapes single quote `'` as `\'`
709+ * - Escapes backslash `\` as `\\`
710+ *
711+ * - PostgreSQL:
712+ * - Escapes single quote `'` as `''`
713+ * - Escapes backslash `\` as `\\`
714+ * - Intended for standard string literals (NOT E'' unless handled externally)
715+ *
716+ * - SQLite:
717+ * - Escapes single quote `'` as `''`
718+ * - Backslash is treated as a literal character
719+ *
720+ * - SQL Server:
721+ * - Escapes single quote `'` as `''`
722+ * - Backslash is treated as a literal character
706723 *
707- * All RDBMS: Converts `\r` and `\n` into `\\r` and `\\n`
724+ * @param string $query
725+ * Raw SQL string value to escape.

709- * @param string $query The raw SQL string to be escaped.
710- * @return string The escaped SQL string, safe for inclusion in SQL statements .
727+ * @return string
