quote

I am switching my application to Postgresql , All the tables in my schema are in lowercase and when I'm doing a query with NHibernate it is adding double quotes to the table name which on the mappings is in PascalCase and causing the query to fail telling me that the table does not exists. I could easily go to all the mappings classes and change the Table method to be lowercase, like change from 'Table("UserAccount")' to 'Table("useraccount")' but I'd rather prefer not having to do this.. I was wondering if there is any way to tell nhibernate not to Double Quote the table on the queries so it

I'm trying to learn scheme by myself. Could anyone tell me why '(quote quote) will output 'quote , and '(quote 'quote) will output ''quote ? Thank you very much! This expression: '(quote quote) ... after expanding '<something> to (quote <something>) is equivalent to (quote (quote quote)) , notice that the symbol quote is being quoted two times, and this expression is evaluated and printed as ''quote . On the other hand, this expression: '(quote 'quote) ... is equivalent to (quote (quote (quote quote))) , notice that the symbol quote is being quoted three times, and this expression is evaluated

Lately, I've been thinking a lot about the basis of Lisp; I've read several manuals and/or other materials on the Internet, including The Roots of Lisp by P. ‎Graham: In The Roots of Lisp , quote is described as a primitive that changes code into data, thereby quoting it, but there doesn't seem to be an equivalent inverse primitive, that is an unquote primitive. I thought it might have been eval 's business, but eval often runs the data in a null lexical environment, which is not equivalent to changing data back into code. Ergo, why isn't there an unquote Lisp primitive? unquote is only useful

This is driving me mad so please help if you can... I have a Java string and I want to replace all backslash double-quote sequences with a single-quote and even though I'm escaping what I believe is necessary the replace command does nothing to the string. entry.replace("\\\"", "'"); Appreciate any advice. Thanks. In Java Strings are immutable. What ever operation you perform on a String results in new object. You need to re-assign the value after operation. Following may help you. entry = entry.replace("\\\"", "'"); Usual mistake I always do :) You should do this intead: entry = entry.replace

I'm constantly confused by the rules for quoting and evaluating when I'm writing bash scripts. I know some of the basics, like the difference between '' and "" and ``, but I still seem to get it wrong far too often, and be reduced to experimenting with trying all sorts of different ways to say the same thing. Any individual problem I can usually work out by brute force, but I think my conceptual model of how it works must be hopelessly broken in some unknown way. I have no problem with lisp's quote,eval,read,print,syntax-quote system. In fact I wrote a little kata to help people understand

From reading introductory material on Lisp, I now consider the following to be identical: (list 1 2 3) '(1 2 3) However, judging from problems I face when using the quoted form in both Clojure and Emacs Lisp, they are not the same. Can you tell me what the difference is? The primary difference is that quote prevents evaluation of the elements, whereas list does not: user=> '(1 2 (+ 1 2)) (1 2 (+ 1 2)) user=> (list 1 2 (+ 1 2)) (1 2 3) For this reason (among others), it is idiomatic clojure to use a vector when describing a literal collection: user=> [1 2 (+ 1 2)] [1 2 3] Trey Jackson Quoted
