Painful? That's just an excuse for being lazy. (No offense intended.)

Not always successful? ... I don't get this, why not?

There are a number of tools and libraries that will quite easily and
robustly handle quoting / escaping issues for you. E.g., perl's DBI
module handles all your quoting issues by way of prepared statements.

All it takes is a little forethought and a lot less laziness.
