i am trying to add a single quote to a string. This is a must because i am making a full select statement in which i need the single quote to compare values. Obviously this breaks my string invalidating my query.
ej:
SELECT avg(tabla.ip_trend_value) as valor, FLOOR(Cast(tabla.ip_trend_time AS FLOAT)) as tiempo
FROM TESTLAB5.dbo.CE02_L21_916AI31_43 tabla, TESTLAB5.dbo.CE02_L21_916XI31_4 t2
WHERE t2.ip_trend_value = 'Alimentacion Digestores' and t2.ip_trend_time = tabla.ip_trend_time
group by FLOOR(Cast(tabla.ip_trend_time AS FLOAT))
and this will become something like this.
SELECT @TableName = 'TESTLAB5.dbo.'+@TableName
SELECT @SQL = 'SELECT avg(tabla.ip_trend_value), FLOOR(Cast(tabla.ip_trend_time AS FLOAT)) FROM '
SELECT @SQL = @SQL + @TableName
SELECT @SQL = @SQL + ' tabla, TESTLAB5.dbo.CE02_L21_916XI31_4 t2'
SELECT @SQL = @SQL + ' WHERE t2.ip_trend_value = '@NombreVar'and t2.ip_trend_time = tabla.ip_trend_time'
SELECT @SQL = @SQL + ' group by FLOOR(Cast(ip_trend_time AS FLOAT))'
the @NombreVar is the equivalence of 'Alimentacion Digestores'.
is there something i can add or change to make it work ?
How do I get a single quote (') in a NVARCHAR string in MS SQL Server?e.g. SELECT @strsql = "SELECT * FROM tblTest WHERE Field1 Like 'blah''Obviously this is invalid as the single quote before "blah" would end thevarchar string.How do I get round this?

I ran a large query and exported it to xls. In Excel, I noticed a value of '2.00E+01'. I formatted the Excel cell and then got a value of '20'. I searched for the record in SQL Server 2008, ya I know, ancient. The value is '2E1' which excel is seeing as scientific notation.
Can I use a case statement that when an 'E' is present to add a single prefix quote like '2E1? Or perhaps do it for the whole column? Or put put double quotes around the whole field?
How do I insert a single quote ' into a table? For example:Insert mytable values (1,''')I get an error message.Any ideas? The server does not recognize double quote (why? is thistsql, ansi?), otherwise I could have written it as:Insert mytable values (1,"'")Thanks.
I am using SQL Server 2005, I have a NVarChar parameter called @Text that I use to build a dynamic Where clause for my SELECT Statement. SET @l_Where = @l_Where + N' AND (StatusDesc LIKE ''' + Replace(@Text, "'", "''") + N'%'')' This gives me an invalid column error. How do I replace the single quotes in @Text with 2 Single Quotes? TIA,Jason
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. ?.
only difference is the machine name has a single quote (apostrophy) in the name... xyz's
Now - a portion of the application is failing - the starting of the application runs ok, and the system is indeed seeing the database (it allowed the user to log in) so the connection string seems to be ok - just in that one part...
does anyone know if the machine name with an embedded apostrophy will cause the ADO connection string to puke???
I have a problem with one of my apps. The apps was written long long time ago in C++ and uses SQL server 7
The problem is that when the users key in some data with single quote in it the query failed, obviously. Is there any way that SQL Server automaticaly manages this kind of Insert/Update statements ?
I'm inserting a row of people's names and addresses to a table. This seems to work great, unless the person has ' in their name, for example O' Riordan. When the address has single quote (such as Wilder's Path), I'd get the same error, unclosed quote when inserting the row.
What would be the best way to work around this, other than read the line and replace it with a space.

Hi, I am beginer to ASP.NET. I want to insert ' ( single quote ) which is entered by the user in a textbox of the ASP.NET web page. As you all know in the insert command the column is ending at that single quote.
I'm cleaning up a column in my table and getting rid of special characters.The only think I can't get rid of with the REPLACE function is single quotes.I'm doing aUPDATE TableSET Column = REPLACE(Column,'''','') --that's four single quotes then two single quotesBut the single quotes in my column wouldn't go away.I know that
is there some way to avoid single quote for all fields (including text) in excel when we export data from sql server? i dont want to have any single quote in excel when i export data.
hellohow are you all ?I want to insert ,select update date in database these data contains special chars like ' & _ <> and so onso is there any way to handle this issue ? please help methanks a lot
We have a .NET drop down, which gets populated as the user types in letters(last name). If the user types in the single quote we get the error about not escaping the single quote. Question is, which way would it be easier to fix, in the .NET code or in the SQL procedure? I am not to sure if we have full access to the source code since that is a 3rd party control, so if that is not feasible how would I fix that in the stored procedure? This is the current proc that we are using:
Code Snippet select @str = 'SELECT DISTINCT TOP ' + @Top + ' e.DisplayName as DbComboText, e.EmployeeID as DbComboValue FROM DepartmentDirectory.dbo.Employees ee INNER JOIN DataMart.dbo.Employees e ON ee.UIN = e.UIN WHERE e.LastName like ''' + @LastName + ''' AND e.FirstName like ''' + @FirstName + ''' ORDER BY e.DisplayName'
I can think of ways to resolve this issue, but I am wondering if there is a standard practice or some setting that is used to ensure that text containing a single quote, such as "Bob's house", is passed correctly to the database when using a SqlDataSource with all of the default behavior. For example, I have a FormView setup with some text fields and a SqlDataSource that is used to do the insert. There is no code in the form currently. It works fine unless I put in text with a single quote, which of course messes up the insert or update. What is the best way to deal with this? Thank you
I have a ssis package created in VS2005 that transforms a SQL query result into an excel spreadsheet. The DataFlow uses a DataReaderSource to query the data and an ExcelDestination to transform the data. The problem is that in the resulting spreadsheet any columns containing string data have a single quote inserted in front of the data. So a string like [My data] becomes ['My data]. When I preview it in the Excel Destination Editor it looks right (without the single quote). What is happening here, is it a bug or does something need to be configured. I checked all the properties that I could find. This is working nice, if I could only overcome this problem.
How can i convert single quote i.e. ' using replace method. Is there any methods we have to replace or to convert single quotation . Please let me know.
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?

While outputting to CSV.file
I got :0,2088,2088,"Month",0,0,0,0,0,0,0,"N/A","N/A","G","N/A","Exempt","Other",1
How can I remove all double quotes in the string fields? so that O can get the result as below while the output 0,2088,2088,Month,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,N/A,N/A,G,N/A,Exempt,Other,1
I have a Foreach loop that dynamically builds a query that gets submitted to a Progress 9.1d database. The "SELECT" portion of the query is static - the WHERE clause is built dynamically each pass through the for each loop. The vast majority of the columns have a dash ("-") in their names, so the query passed to progress has to have double quotes surrounding the column names. Not a big deal you would think. If I am retrieving 3 columns, my string would look like "SELECT ""manager-name"", ''"employee-name"", ""date-of-hire"" FROM PUB.EmployeeTable" - with the columns requiring quoted identifiers escaped with double quotes. My script task adds some additional info to the WHERE clause based on other conditions. Once my script task has built the query string, it assigns that string value to my Dts.Variables("SqlString") variable.
I can put a MsgBox() call in the Script task to display my query once it has been built (displaying Dts.Variables("SqlString").Value) - and it looks fine. Using the above example, it would simply be: SELECT "manager-name", "employee-name", "date-of-hire" FROM PUB.EmployeeTable.
So - My foreach loop is set up so that the query command is pulled from my Dts.Variables("SqlString") variable. It fails anytime my query has a column that requires quotes around it. I was confused, since I could take the exact query string displayed by my test MsgBox() and validate it's syntax against our Progress database (and even run it) and it worked fine.
So - I then inserted a breakpoint to break on PreExecute for the DataReader task (next task after Scrip task) to view the value of the Dts.Variables("SqlString") variable just before it gets assigned to the DataReader's Sql Command property. That's when I noticed that the value of the Dts.Variables("SqlString") in the Watch window actually showed that the "double" double quotes I had entered in the SELECT clause (to escape to one double quote) were being replaced with " (slash quote). SO - in the Watch window, my Dts.Variables("SqlString").Value reads as follows:
SELECT "manager-name", "employee-name","date-of-hire" FROM PUB.EmployeeTable.
Obviously, that query is not going to fly via SQL-92/ODBC connection to our Progress database. I've tried everything I can think of - even trying to replace "" with "" in the Foreach expression editor where the Sql Command of the data reader gets assigned. I'm at a total loss. Why would SSIS plug in what looks like C# character escaping syntax when all the expressions are supposed to be VB.NET? I've already successfully run several packages that query our Progress databases that do NOT use the double quotes in the SELECT clause and they work fine. Does anyone have any ideas??
I'm having trouble importing a CSV file into SQL using SSIS. The trouble seems to stem from truncation and from quote encapsulated fields.
Firstly it's worth noting that some of the data within the quotes contains the separator. E.g.
12,"some text, and a comma",34
Thankfully SSIS seems to cope with that by specifying " as the Text Qualifier. My next problem was that the SSIS Import and Export Wizard gave an error: "failed because truncation occurred". But I fixed this by specifying the OutputColumnWidth for the NCHAR and NVARCHAR type columns to be the width from the table definition.
But now I have another problem with the length of fields. Consider the following where the center column is NCHAR (22)
101,"some text, and a comma",303 102,"some ""quoted text"" bye",303
The first row has the correct width (once the encapsulating quotes are stripped out), but the second row does not, because it seems that when I exported the table the export wizard escaped the quote characters within encapsulated strings using quote characters. So I am back to getting the "truncation occurred" error. How can I get around this within SSIS?
I am trying to find all instances of a string that contain the letters FSC. While I am able to find most of them, I am unable to find the ones wrapped in double quotes.
Query example:
Select * from myTable Where item like '%FSC%'
This works great with the exception of when FSC is surrounded by double quotes.
