Hi,
I need to have an varchar value with single quotes. For eg: the below code throws compilation error.
Declare @val VARCHAR(20)
SELECT @val = ''+name+''
print @val
Error: Invalid column 'name'
I want to print name enclosed with single quotes. Please guide me.
Regards,
Sam
Hi,
I have a parameterized query. The parameters contain data from my tables. Some of the parameters could include single quotes. The single quotes are wreaking havoc in my parameterized query. How can I replace single quotes with double quotes inside of my SQL stored
procedure?
I know that it's something similar to REPLACE(@variablename, '''''', ''''''''), but I can't get the number of quotes right.
All of the examples that I am seeing are converting the quotes inside of an application. This is not an option for me, as I am calling this stored procedure from a SQL job that will run daily.
Thx.
Much to my surprise and dismay, after burning hours and hours developing various SSIS packages to extract data from my SQL 2005 DB to CSV flat files, I found out the hard way that SSIS doesn't properly escape quotes (") in the data (my output file is required to have quotes as text qualifiers).
It seems like I'm pretty much forced to create derived columns to test for the existence of quotes in my data, then either escape them or replace them with another character.
This is really NOT COOL. Not only will this significantly hinder performance, it makes my packages a heck of a lot more complicated (especially when I'm exporting lots of text columns).
Am I doing something wrong, or does SSIS really not escape the text qualifier in a delimited flat file? If so, someone PLEASE tell me this will be fixed in the very near future.
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

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'
Any help is greatly appreciated.
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

I'm trying to build a dynamic sql statement in a stored procedurre and can't get the like statement to work. My problem is with the single quote. for example LIKE '%@searchvalue%'.

How to insert a string value with quotes in it in SQL Server?

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'

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?
