I have a problem with inserting a string with single quotes. For instance,
string testme = "we don't have anything";
insert into tableone (buff) values ("'" + testme + "'");
I get an error with the word "don't" with single quote. But if I delete the single quote "dont" then it is okay. Is is a bug in sql 2005? Please help. Thanks.

I had a procdure in SQL 7.0 in which I am using both single quote and double quotes for string values. This proceudreused to work fine in SQL 7.0 but when I upgraded SQL 7.0 to SQL 2000, this proceudre stopped working. When I changed the double quotes to single quotes, it worked fine.
Any Idea why ??
Thanks

I was having some issues with converting this @BeginDate(which is passed in as a datetime) correctly and someone suggested the syntax below. It enloses it in triple single quotes. That seemed to work, but it also seems to work with single quotes too. Can someone explain the use of triple single quotes in stored procedures?
''' + CAST(@BeginDate as Varchar(30)) + '''
Help please! I have a problem with passing quotes in a parameter. I am using asp.net (vb) passing a parameter to a stored procedure.
Here is an example of the parameter I am passing from the asp page.
strIndexFilesFound = " 'file1.pdf', 'file2.pdf' "
.......Parameters("@IndexFilesFound").Value = strIndexFilesFound
And the Procedure parts
...
@IndexFilesFound char(100) = ''
....
WHERE IndexFile IN(@IndexFilesFound)
The result should be that the where query receives the data like this.
WHERE IndexFile IN ('file1.pdf', 'file2.pdf')
The number of files passed is unknown for any given query.
Much Thanks!
I have 2 SQL 6.5 databases on separate servers. Server A replicates a text field into a table on server B.
On server A the field contains text similar to THIS IS FRED'S HOUSE. After replication to Server B it looks like THIS IS FRED''S HOUSE. The distribution database also has it as THIS IS FRED''S HOUSE. Using ODBC trace I cannot see the value being passed in the text field as it is displayed as a question mark e.g. ?.
How do I fix the problem ?
Thanks

Hello Everyone!
I am having a problem with updating a password within a table. Below is the old and new password that needs to be updated.
Old2"3("-"3#@(%P="''_DD@D*
New :"I+)#]*1#E,%R-''7^,TEA$X&^O_-68DIK,@
Below is the query that I am trying to run. I believe my problem is becuase of the Single Quotes found within both the old and new password.
I have tried to escape the single quotes, @local_variable, CHAR(39) and other ways of playing with the string. I cannot seem to find a solution.
If you were to ignore the update statement, the SELECT statement would return no results even though the PRINT statement displays the required data.
This is what baffles me and why I cannot run the UPDATE statement, becuase of course, nothing would be updated since no results were returned.
Can anyone offer their assistance?
Thank you in advance.

Hi,
I want to pass a query to SQL Server 2005 through the table adapter query.
Some of the variables with have single quotes e.g. He's
I know with PHP/MySQL Addslashes() is used.
What is the alternative for C#?
Thanks.
When users enter text into a textbox, to be INSERTed into my table, SQL Server throws an error if their text contains a single quote.
For example, if they enter "It's great!" then it causes this error:Error: Incorrect syntax near 's'. Unclosed quotation mark after the character string ''.
How can I allow text with single quotes to be inserted into the table?
Here's my code:
string strInsert = "INSERT INTO [Comments] ([GameID], [UserID], [Comment]) VALUES (@GameID, @UserID, @Comment)";
SqlConnection myConnection = new SqlConnection(<<myconnectionstuff>>);SqlCommand myCommand = new SqlCommand(strInsert, myConnection);
myCommand.Parameters.Add( "@GameID", Request.QueryString["GameID"] );myCommand.Parameters.Add( "@UserID", (string)Session["UserID"] );myCommand.Parameters.Add( "@Comment", ThisUserCommentTextBox.Text );
try {myCommand.Connection.Open();myCommand.ExecuteNonQuery();}
catch (SqlException ex) {ErrorLabel.Text = "Error: " + ex.Message;}
finally {myCommand.Connection.Close();}
My code results in SQL statements like the following one - and it gives an error because of the extra single-quotes in 'it's great':
UPDATE Comments SET Comment='it's great' WHERE UserID='joe' AND GameID='503'
Here's the error I get when I try this code in SQL Server:
Msg 102, Level 15, State 1, Line 1Incorrect syntax near 's'.Msg 105, Level 15, State 1, Line 1Unclosed quotation mark after the character string ''.
I need to know how I can insert a string such as 'it's great' - how do I deal with the extra quotes issue? is there a way to ecape it like this 'it/'s great' ? This doesn't seem to work.
Here's the code that generates the SQL. I'm using a FCKeditor box instead of a TextBox, but I got the same error when I was using the TextBox:
string strUpdate = "UPDATE Comments SET Comment='";strUpdate = strUpdate + FCKeditor1.Value;//strUpdate = strUpdate + ThisUserCommentTextBox.Text;strUpdate = strUpdate + "' WHERE UserID='";strUpdate = strUpdate + (string)Session["UserID"];strUpdate = strUpdate + "'";strUpdate = strUpdate + " AND GameID='";strUpdate = strUpdate + Request.QueryString["GameID"];strUpdate = strUpdate + "'";
SqlConnection myConnection = new SqlConnection(...);SqlCommand myCommand = new SqlCommand(strUpdate, myConnection);
try{myCommand.Connection.Open();myCommand.ExecuteNonQuery();}catch (SqlException ex){ErrorLabel.Text = "Error: " + ex.Message;
}finally{myCommand.Connection.Close();}
I'm using SQL Server 2005 and ASP.NET 2.0
Much thanks

Hi,
How to insert a string value with quotes in it in SQL Server?
This is not working:
insert table_name values(`abc`d`)
I tried to put escape in front of `, still failed.
Thanks in advance.

I'm constructing a SQL string that needs single quotes in the WHERE clause. How do I encapsulate them in a string variable. I looked into ESCAPE and SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER, but i don't really see any examples using string Concatenation. I'm trying to filter out the zls (0 length strings)
This doesn't work (all single quotes):
@sqlString = ' SELECT * FROM myTbl '
@sqlString = @sqlString + 'WHERE fld1 <>'' '
Thanks,

I'm trying to pass through a SQL statement to an Oracle database usingOPENROWSET. My problem is that I'm not sure of the exact syntax I needto use when the SQL statement itself contains single quotes.Unfortunately, OPENROWSET doesn't allow me to use parameters so I can'tget around the problem by assigning the SQL statement to a parameter oftype varchar or nvarchar as inSELECT *FROM OPENROWSET('MSDAORA','myconnection';'myusername';' mypassword',@chvSQL)I tried doubling the single quotes as inSELECT *FROM OPENROWSET('MSDAORA','myconnection';'myusername';' mypassword','SELECT *FROM AWHERE DateCol > To_Date(''2002-12-01'', ''yyyy-mm-dd'')')But that didn't work. Is there a way out of this?Thanks,Bill E.Hollywood, FL

Hi: Got a newbie question that's been giving me fits! Basically I'm replicating what's going on here on this board...creating a "posting" interface that takes the "message" and inserts it into a table using an ADODB connection (using INSERT INTO table name,tablecells and VALUES)
However, if someone types in a single or double quote in the body of the message, I get an error similar to this:
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers error '80040e14'
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Line 1: Incorrect syntax near 's'.
/test.asp, line 29
I think I understand why it's happening (SQL is interpreting the quote mark as a string-end), but what am I supposed to do to get around it?
I have this pivot table (I only post the static version as the problem only regards the single quotes)
SELECT * from(
select DATEPART(year,DeliverydatePackingSlip) as Year,
CASE WHEN DiffPromiseDateFirst < 0 Then '1 - too early'
WHEN DiffPromiseDateFirst = 0 Then '2 - on time'
ELSE '3 - too late' END as Delivery
from iq4bisprocess.FactOTDCustomer
WHERE OTD_Exclusion = 0)a
PIVOT ( COUNT(Year)
For Year
in ([2012],[2013],[2014],[2015])) as pvtNow, packing everything in a string parameter I always stumble over the single quotes. I tried to replace them with CHAR(39), I tried to define a parameter for each occurrence, but always get a syntax error. What am I doing wrong?declare @sql nvarchar(max)
declare @title1 nvarchar(20)
declare @title2 nvarchar(20)
declare @title3 nvarchar(20)
set @title1 = '1 - too early'
set @title2 = '2 - on time'
set @title3 = '3 - too late'

Hi,
I have two tables A and B. In table A i have three columns called empid, empname and empsalary where empid is an identity column. Table A has some records filled in it. Table B has the same schema except the fact that the empid is not an identity column in table B. Table B does not contain any rows initially. All other aspects remain the same as that of table A. Now i am going to delete some records in table A based on the empid. When i delete the records in table A based on empid the deleted records should be inserted into table B with the same empid. I need to accomplish these two tasks in a single stored procedure. How to do it? I need the entire code for the stored procedure. Please help me. I am trying for the past 4 days.
Thanx in Advance
I've got a flat file data source, that is to large to edit with most Windows apps on my server that contains both single and double quote characters that I need to load in a varchar column.
So I attempted to do it with a Replace in data transformation, but I can't get SSIS to allow me to use a variable or pair of single or double quotes within the replace.
If I don't replace the single quote characters with a pair then the records containing these characters all end up in my failed records output file.
Here are 5 example property legal descriptions from my FLAT FILE data source:

I've a weird problem in my application. In of the pages, while trying to update the text box "Name", when I enter Linda's test, it gets saved as Linda''s test. I'm not sure if this is a problem due to SQL server. When I look at the stored procedure, I don't anything different. Also, when I update the table directly in SQL Server, the result is displayed in single quote. But if I update the field thro' the application, the returned name is with double quotes instead of single quote. Has any of you faced problems like this? What am I missing? What do I need to do to get the name saved the way I entered (with single quotes) instead of double quotes?

Hi,
I am working on an application that is to read a large number of XML files, take out specific values from each file, and store these in a SQL server so that reports can be generated from these values. There are some 15-20,000 files for each month of the year. I am OK with parsing the files and getting the fields that I need but I don't want to insert one record at a time as I parse the files. I was told that I can create a .exe file that parses the xml files and stores the required values in a csv file and use these csv files to initiate a bulk insert, using Business Intelligence Studio. I have not been able to find any info or article on how to do this. Any help on how I can accomplish this, or alternate solutions is greatly appreciated.
