DECODE (SUBSTR (field, 1, 1),'''', '''''' || field || '''','''' || field || '''')


here field is a column in an oracle table....
it means if substr of field column that is from 1st char to 2nd char is " a double quote it will be decoded as two double quotes ""concated with field then again a double quote and a single quote or else "' concated with field and "'
decode works as nested if or switch case..
for more info on decode just search in google...

Tangram::Type::Scalar(3pm)				User Contributed Perl Documentation				Tangram::Type::Scalar(3pm)

NAME
Tangram::Type::Scalar - map scalar fields SYNOPSIS
use Tangram; Tangram::Schema->new( classes => { NaturalPerson => { fields => { string => [ qw( name firstName gender ) ], int => [ qw( age ) ], real => [ qw( height weight ) ], $schema = Tangram::Schema->new( classes => { NaturalPerson => { fields => { string => { name => { sql => 'VARCHAR(100)' }, 1stname => { col => 'firstName', sql => 'VARCHAR(100) NULL' }, gender => undef() }, DESCRIPTION
Classes Tangram::Type::String, ::Int and ::Real and ::Ref are responsible for mapping the various subtypes of scalars. The first three map- pings are documented here since they differ very little. See Tangram::Type::Ref::FromMany for information on mapping references. Tangram::Type::String uses DBI's quote() method to quote strings if that method is available, thus making it possible to store binary objects or multiline text in databases that support it (thanks to Marian Kelc <marian.kelc@ruhr-uni-bochum.de> for suggesting this improve- ment). The three predefined typetags "string", "int" and "real" are for the corresponding Perl scalar subtypes. Each scalar field is stored in a single column of the table associated to the class. The persistent fields may be specified either as a hash or as an array of field names. In the hash form, each entry consists in a field name and an associated option hash. The option hash may contain the following fields: * col * sql * automatic "col" sets the name of the column used to store the field's value. This field is optional, it defaults to the persistent field name. Over- ride if the field name is not an acceptable SQL column name. "sql" sets the SQL type of the column. Used by Schema::deploy() when initializing a database. Defaults to 'VARCHAR(255) NULL' for strings, 'INT NULL' for ints and 'REAL NULL' for reals. "automatic", if set to true, tells Tangram not to save the field to storage. This is useful for auto-increment or timestamp columns. The persistent fields may also be specified as an array of strings, in which case the defaults are used. perl v5.8.8 2006-03-29 Tangram::Type::Scalar(3pm)
