I have stored names with ' s (Apostrophes) and without 's in the database(sqlserver).Example:O'Relly
I tried to get the values with select statement like
Dim str As String = Request.QueryString("Title")
Dim query As String = "SELECT * FROM Test where title like '" + str + "'"
Problem is getting the all the values from database except O'Relly just getting O other word Relly no.....
What should do I and what code do I need ..?
I tried with the below code also
Dim x As Long
For x = 1 To Len(str)
If Mid$(str, x, 1) = "'" Then
str = str & "''"
Else
str = str & Mid(title1, x, 1)
End If

Will Not Accept Apostrophe
Mar 7, 2005I get this error when the user inputs a word with an apostrophe:
Incorrect syntax near 't'. Unclosed quotation mark before the character string '
Using c# this is the input command:
oCom=new SqlCommand(string.Format("INSERT INTO [database] ([name],[address], [issue],[comments],[timestamp]) VALUES({0},'{1}','{2}','{3}','{4}",val[0],val[1],val[2],txtComment.Text,tmStamp),oCon);
When users enter a comment with an aprostrophe it gives me an error, using a session array and convert it to a string[].
Any ideas?
Thanks
SQL Replace Apostrophe
Apr 18, 2000Hello
Can anyone tell me how to replace a single apostrophe in a record with a double apostrophe (in Query Analyzer, SQL7)? I've tried "select replace("d'","d'","d''")FROM RESORT" but it doesn't UPDATE the table.
Suggestions gratefully received!

Apostrophe Usage
Jun 14, 2004Ok, I still have some uncertainty as to just exactly how this whole apostrophe thing works with databases. I understand that it is a reserved character and so when a sql query runs into one of these creatures it looks at it as something other than a normal character.
I am working primarily in vb/asp/sql server with a little bit of access. I am familiar with the instrinsic 'Replace' function and I use it but I still have occassional problems.
I would like any information I can get on just exactly why/how this thing works and how to work-around the apostrophe when writing to, reading from, and validating data from sql server/access/any databases.
Thanks!
Problem With Apostrophe
May 7, 2007I am having weird trouble with READING data from my Access database where the field has an apostrophe - but only when I display the field in a textbox.
For example, the field "Don't do this" becomes "Don" when my SQL query outputs the result:
campaignID = rscampaign("campaign")
response.write "<input type='hidden' name='campaignid1' value='" & campaignID & "'>"
If I output to regular HTML (e.g. in a <P> tag), the field displays correcly.
Has anyone ever encountered this problem? I can't figure out why the textbox would be creating this problem...

View 5 Replies View RelatedSqlDataSource : Dynamic SQL : Apostrophe
Sep 20, 2007OK so I need to use a dynamic SQL statement in a SqlDataSource object because I need to pass in the column name. I'm having trouble accounting for the apostophes I have to interpret literals within the statement. This is connecting to an Oracle database.
This is what I originally tried...
<asp:SqlDataSource ID="SqlDataSourceMine" runat="server" ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:My_Connection_String %>" ProviderName="<%$ ConnectionStrings:My_Connection_String.ProviderName %>" SelectCommand="SELECT m.YIE, :selecteditem, m.ENDTIME FROM MyMAP.MAP_M_SUM m WHERE (m.GROUPID LIKE 'YC%' AND m.GROUPID NOT LIKE 'YCX%' AND m.ENDTIME >= SYSDATE-14)"> <SelectParameters> <asp:ControlParameter Name="selecteditem" ControlID="itemlabel" PropertyName="Text" Type="String" /> </SelectParameters></asp:SqlDataSource>
And the second column returned as :selecteditem for the column name and the value of itemlabel.text (what I wanted to be the column that was queried) as the value in each of the rows of that column. So I tried dynamic SQL to put the value of itemlabel.txt as the column to be queried, but I'm not sure how to get the query to read the literals. How can I accomplish this?
<asp:SqlDataSource ID="SqlDataSourceMine" runat="server" ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:My_Connection_String %>" ProviderName="<%$ ConnectionStrings:MY_Connection_String.ProviderName %>" SelectCommand="EXEC('SELECT m.YIE, '+selectedbin+', m.ENDTIME FROM MMAP.MAP_M_SUM m WHERE (m.GROUPID LIKE '+paramlike+' AND m.GROUPID NOT LIKE '+paramnotlike+' AND m.ENDTIME >= SYSDATE-14)')"> <SelectParameters> <asp:ControlParameter Name="selectedbin" ControlID="binlabel" PropertyName="Text" Type="String" /> <asp:ControlParameter Name="paramlike" ControlID="Label1" PropertyName="Text" Type="String" /> <asp:ControlParameter Name="paramnotlike" ControlID="Label2" PropertyName="Text" Type="String" /> </SelectParameters></asp:SqlDataSource>
This errors to "illegal variable name"
Can someone help me out please? Thanks a lot.

Add Apostrophe To Column In Result Set
Feb 5, 2004I have a brain teaser for you all.
The end result: I need one of the columns in my result set (col2) to have a preceeding apostrophe (i.e., '001234 ).
The problem: I am building my query as a string and then using the EXEC() function to execute it. For example:
SET @strSQL = 'SELECT col1, col2 FROM mytable'
EXEC(@strSQL)
Just to tame any answers that might not be directed to the specific question, the query Must be built as a string and then executed.
I have been unable to obtain the solution and I am wondering if it is even possible?

How To Insert Text That Contains An Apostrophe??
Sep 4, 2004Hi there,
I have an access 2000 db and in one of my tables I need to store some text that sometimes contains an apostrophe.
My problem is, everytime my program tries to insert text containing an apostrophe, the program crashes...
The insert statments I am using look like this:
CurrentDb.Execute "INSERT INTO myTable (Text) VALUES ('" & stringContainingApostrophe & "')"
I've tried checking the text for apostrophes and replacing them with an ecape character + apostrophe ("'") but that doesn't work either...
It seems like I should be able to store text that contains an apostrophe... Am i missing something here?
Does anyone have any ideas?? (Thanks in advance)

View 6 Replies View RelatedVB - Stored Procedure - Apostrophe Issue
Sep 30, 2002Hello,
I'm using Visual Basic 6 to insert data into SQL Server 2000 via a stored procedure. Apostrophes are giving me problems. Using T-SQL it works fine.
Following is the code:
=======================
cn.ConnectionString = "Driver=" & cnDriver & ";Server=" & cnServer & ";Database=" & cnDatabase & ";UID=" & cnUID & ";PWD=" & cnPWD
cn.Open
'TURNING QUOTES OFF allows a literal string to be delimited by double quotes and to accept an apostrophe
'cn.Execute "SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER OFF" (This works using T-SQL statements only)
'set the reference to the ADO Command object
Set cmd = New ADODB.Command
'Set the command object properties
Set cmd.ActiveConnection = cn
pDocClass = "Apostrophe's test"
'THIS STORED PROC. INSERTS DATA INTO THE 'INDEX_DTL' AND 'CSC_TRANS' TABLES
cmd.CommandText = "Insert_Email_Data ('" & pDocID & "', '" & pLoginID & "', '" & pCustNum & "', '" & pDocClass & _
"', '" & pJCIRepCode & "', '" & pInitiallyRoute & "','" & pDocRecDate & "', '" & _

"X" & "', '" & strEventType & "')"
MsgBox cmd.CommandText
cmd.CommandType = adCmdStoredProc
cmd.Execute
=======================
The above works great as long as the pDocClass field does not contain an apostrophe. In the stored procedure, pDocClass is defined as @pDocClass char (40).
Following is the error I receive:
"Line 1: Incorrect syntax near '{'
Any help with handling an apostrophe in the CommandText above would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,

That is only part of a large query that writs a SQL Query to a column in a Database. That Query (in the column) is just ran normally so I don't need to compile it each time I want to run it.
THe problem I have is @FieldName might be: ryan's field.
That apostrophe is killing me because the SQL keeps it as ryan's field, not ryan''s field(note the 2 apostrophes). I cannot do: REPLACE(@FieldName, ''', '''') because it's not closing the apostrophes. Is there an escape character that I can use to say only one: ' ?
I tried:
DECLARE @t VARCHAR(500)
SET @t = (SELECT [Name] FROM [Form].[Fields] WHERE FieldID = 1)
print @t -- @t will print: Ryan's Field
PRINT QUOTENAME('' + @t + '', '''')
but that gives me: 'Ryan''s Field'
Any help would rock. If I make any changes to the way this field is input into the DataBase, I know I will need to do a lot of re-work in many spots. WHich is why i'm trying to solve this on the SQL side.
Problem With Case Statement And An Apostrophe In The Value

Else Field
End)
Apostrophe In Comment Confuses ADODB
Jun 5, 2007We just encountered an odd failure in ADODB. If it gets an SQL query with a comment embedded in it, and the comment has an apostrophe as one of the characters, ADODB gets confused as it tries to plug in parameters for placeholders later in the query. For example:
SELECT id, name
FROM doc_type /* this won't work! */
WHERE name LIKE ?
If you take out the apostrophe ("this will not work!") or move the comment to follow the placeholder, the query works.
Is this a known bug (couldn't find it in the KB)?
Thanks,
Bob Kline
