more database escaping

In setting up a new database, new pages, new site, on a shared server,
these thoughts come to mind:

1/ Does anybody keep a table of config values in which the database was
originally designed for? (and one in each database for a site, for that
matter)
        Example
                CREATE TABLE site_name_design_cfg_vals(
                        name  VARCHAR(32),
                        value VARCHAR(32),
                        PRIMARY KEY name
                ) TYPE='MYIASM';

Some values I would store, for example, would be:
'single_quote_escape', '''
'double_quote_escape', '\'

Then, before insertions are made into the database, these values are
checked, and only the right values are put in. This makes it easy to
move between sites, or databases.
