-	 * Escapes a raw SQL query string to be safely used in an SQL statement,
-	 * including handling of single quotes, backslashes, and line breaks,
-	 * based on the active database type.
+	 * Escapes a raw SQL string value so it can be safely embedded inside
+	 * an SQL statement according to the active database dialect.
 	 *
-	 * This function does **not** quote the entire string with `'` — it is intended
-	 * for use in building safe query fragments or inline strings.
+	 * This method performs **SQL literal escaping only** and does NOT:
+	 * - Add surrounding quotes (`'...'`)
+	 * - Escape or transform newline characters (`\n`, `\r`)
+	 * - Replace or normalize whitespace
+	 *
+	 * Newline characters are preserved as-is and stored correctly
+	 * in the database. This avoids issues where line breaks would be
+	 * converted into literal `\n` sequences.
 	 *
 	 * Behavior per database:
-	 * - MySQL/MariaDB: Escapes `'` as `\'` and `\` as `\\`
-	 * - PostgreSQL   : Escapes `'` as `''` and `\` as `\\` (assumes use with E'' literals)
-	 * - SQLite       : Escapes `'` as `''`; backslash is literal
-	 * - SQL Server   : Escapes `'` as `''`; backslash is literal
+	 * - MySQL / MariaDB:
+	 *   - Escapes single quote `'` as `\'`
+	 *   - Escapes backslash `\` as `\\`
+	 *
+	 * - PostgreSQL:
+	 *   - Escapes single quote `'` as `''`
+	 *   - Escapes backslash `\` as `\\`
+	 *   - Intended for standard string literals (NOT E'' unless handled externally)
+	 *
+	 * - SQLite:
+	 *   - Escapes single quote `'` as `''`
+	 *   - Backslash is treated as a literal character
+	 *
+	 * - SQL Server:
+	 *   - Escapes single quote `'` as `''`
+	 *   - Backslash is treated as a literal character
 	 *
-	 * All RDBMS: Converts `\r` and `\n` into `\\r` and `\\n`
+	 * @param string $query

+	 * @return string
+	 *     Escaped SQL string safe for inclusion inside a quoted SQL literal.
