I have a Java class that has a kind of large SQL query. Right now it is
a series of concatenated strings, occupying about twenty lines of my
source code file. Performance is not a concern to me at this point, but
I would like to store the SQL query string in a Properties file so that
it does not clutter my code. However, I can't find a reference to
acceptable Properties file syntax -- is it allowed to have multiline
property values? Like this:
# jdbc.sql.properties
com.erikprice.sql.select=SELECT some_value,
some_other_value,
yet_another_value
FROM some_table
WHERE some_condition
