ODBC and quotes/escape characters

Hi -- I am using a freeware program (www.jsdb.org) to access my MySQL
database via MS Windows ODBC.
Right now I have a problem using jsdb to insert rows with _ and % in
their values because jsdb uses the wrong method of quoting/escaping.

Assuming I am using MySQL's ODBC driver, is there a way to find out
via the ODBC functions (or even via an SQL SELECT statement!) any/all
of the following:

1) whether it is MySQL or something else
2) what the quote characters are for field names and values (` and '
respectively)
