Being awkwward now eh :o)

to get a single quote in a column :

insert into ...
values ' O''Malley'

That's a single quote, O, two single quotes together, Malley, single quote.

Which results in the column being set to O'Malley - with only one quote.


Cheers,
Norm.

In fact it works!
But, if I need both: ' and " ?
