Quotes in insert statement

Hi all,
I have a Insert statement as follows.
insert into mytable(description)
values('Spoon 'n Fork');
In order to have the single quote before the n, I can frame the sentence as follows,
insert into mytable(description)
values('Spoon ''n Fork');
But if the same comes in a sql script there many rows will have single quote as 'n.
How can I fix this?
any ideas
thanks
asp

Hi,
sorry..i actually misunderstood the requirement... its like follows..
I have a flat file coming generated from system with column values:
Description1     Description2     Description3     Description4     Description5
prasanth     baby'sdayout     prime minister     dad's book     my work
world's clock     president     computer     printer's     laptop
alphabets     party's          spoon 'n foke     icecream's     etcThe above flat file is dynamic which
will have some times 100 rows sometimes 1000 rows.
I should write a insert build procure that should work such a way that
it should check all columns values in each to find ' (single quote) and if present then it should build insert statement accordingly.. i.e incude '' so that single quote will be inserted.
Here the tricky thing is that in 1st row '(single quote) present in 2nd column (baby'sdayout) and 3rd column 4th(dad'sbook) so my prgoram should build insert statement like
insert into mytable(description1,description2,description3,description4,description5)
values('prasanth','baby''sdayout','prime minister','dad''sbook','my work');
So here tricky is i really dont know which column value has ' (quote) with in it and i should find out build insert accordingly..
if you see second row above then '(quote) came in Description1 and Description 4 so, insert statement should only place that '' in those column alone..
any ideas how to achieve this
thanks

Escaping single quotes in SQL Statement

I am getting SQL Statement error when i tried to have a value with a single quote in it ,inside my SQL Statement.
e.g.
INSERT INTO tblHoldings(Title) VALUES ('Developing Asia�s fibre processing through collaboration');
here the Title to be inserted in the table tblHoldings is "Developing Asia�s fibre processing through collaboration"
i used to trapped the single quote by using its escape character ( \ ) with this method and its fine with MySQL 4 but when I upgraded to MySQL 5.0.22, I now getting the SQL Statement error again.
public String cleanse(String dirty) {
      String clean = dirty.replaceAll("\'", "\\\\'");
      return clean;
}    please help me..how can i trapped/escape single quote in MySQL 5 in Java?
Thanks in advance for your help.

No. Please use PreparedStatements. That is theonly
correct answer to this question.Ok please tell us. how would you use prepare
statement.. no just say USE PREPARE STATE.. givethe
guy the code... or help..What size spoon would you like to be fed with? There
was nothing about gob size in the original post.
http://www.javaalmanac.com
well duffymo.. i think you gave a link, is quite of help, but my friend preparestatement just gave "use preparestatement"..
i think even you when you start coding you needed help... and some one just tell you use preparestatement how do you feel..
There is a level of help. i think it will be (((as much as you can)))

Help with sql insert single quotes

String insert = "INSERT INTO users(firstName, lastName, emailAdd, password) VALUES("+ firstNameForm + "," + lastNameForm + "," + emailForm + "," + passwordForm + ")";
Statement stmt = conn.createStatement();
int ResultSet = stmt.executeUpdate(insert);
I have that sql insert statment in my servlet the servlet compiles fine but does not insert into the users table, i have been told that it is something to do with single quotes in sql statement, can anybody help me out?

Or can i change my sql table is there a autonumber which would increase everytime this servlet runs?make your field autoincrement :-)
example
ALTER TABLE `users` CHANGE `user_id` `user_id` INT( 10 ) UNSIGNED DEFAULT '0' NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT To insert record in the table.
example:
you have a table test and got two fields,
id = (INT) autoincrement
name = VARCHAR / TEXT etc.
to insert data to the table test try something like this:
String SQLStatement = "INSERT INTO test";
SQLStatement += "(name)";
SQLStatement += " VALUES (?)";
statement = Conn.prepareStatement(SQLStatement);
statement.setString(1, "Duke");
statement.executeUpdate();
statement.close();
Conn.close();Note we dont provide the field for id on our sql statement since it is set as auto-increment ;-)

How to escape a single quote in a find mode view

Hello,
I'm working with JDeveloper 10g.
I've defined a view that is used in "find mode" in a JSP.
When a value with a single quote is inserted in a field of the search form, an exception is thrown:
JBO-27122: SQL error during statement preparation.
ORA-00907: missing right parenthesis.
The problem is that the "single quote" is not being escaped:
WHERE STREET LIKE 'ABAT ESCARRE, DE L'A'
How could I force the view to escape the "single quote"?
Thanks

How to deal with single quote (') in a field value?

I can successfully insert value with single quoet using
Prepared statement with placeholder(?) construct .
I can also successfuly use value with single quote(') in
WHERE clause.
My question is, is there a way to use string with single
quote if a Statement like:
String slqString ="INSERT INTO customers (name, address) VALUES ( 'O'Reilly Bob', 'St Mary's Street') ";
Statement sqlStmt = con.createStatement();
sqlStmt.executeUpdate(sqlString);
The last statement will thow an SQLException because due to single quotes
Any ideas?

I think the question was regarding the ' in O'Reily. Use ' twice when using the Statement interface, i.e.
("O''Reilly Bob", "St Mary''s Street")
So that's two single quotes, not a double quote, to successfully insert a single quote, if you know what I mean....
But like you said PreparedStatement does things like this for you.

Single quote in the query

Hi,
I am inserting a string literal that contains one or more single quotes. I know i have to use two single quote ('') to represent one single quote in my insert query and four single quotes('''') to show two single quotes. However, when i do a select from the table, all single quotes are escaped with a backslash in front of it (\'). This cause some problem when i display the string in html page. How can i skip the back slash and keep only the single quote in my select query? Thanks
Kim Titu

Kim,
To insert single quote or double quote string try using the ascii values as below -
CHR(34) ==> " (double quote)
CHR(39) ==> ' (single quote)
Example:
Insert into emp(EMPNAME) values(CHR(39)||'TEST'||CHR(39));
Now,
Select EMPNAME from emp;
will give you the result - 'TEST'

Murali Mohan

Replace single quotes

I know that I have to trap the single quotes when inserting names, streets, etc.
I tried to use replace() and to replace the single ones with 2 singles. Could somebody help me with the syntax as I'm getting all the time errors. Here is the code:
Insert into t1 values(Last_name, First_name, Street)
Last_name = 'last_Name's+app', First_name = first_name's_app', Street = 'street's_app'
Insert into t1 values((Replace(last_name, ','')), (replace(First_name,',''),(replace(Street,','')))
Also, do I need to worry when I passing the single quotes to the calling program?
Thanks a lot.
MJ

Problem with single quote when exporting insert statement

Hi
I'm using Oracle SQL Developer 2.1.1.64 on Ubuntu 10.04. I got some records which has single quote in it.
For example,
Let says Table '*TABLE_A*' has varchar2 column called '*COL_A*'.
And there is only one record in the table and the value is:
his friend's dog name is dog.
When I export that table data to insert statement, i got this:
Insert into TABLE_A (COL_A) VALUES ('his friend's dog name is dog.');
As you can see friend's is wrong, it should be friend''s instead. (note the double single quotes).
Anyone knows how to fix this please?

Yes - that's a bug. But probably not what you're expecting.
Mind you really can't use "normal" SQL on LOBs, because they're just too big to fit in the statements.
You should export and import them through e.g. the DBMS_LOB package.
I do remember some request on the SQL Developer Exchange to automate this, so go vote there to add weight for future implementation.
So the bug is that the column's fields should all yield NULL inside the INSERTs.

K.

Trouble with inserting a string containing a single quote

Using php with Oracle
If I do the following two lines before sending my $Query string through the parse function
$name = "Dominick's";
$Query = "INSERT INTO customers (name) values ('$name')";
it gives me the following error:
Warning: Ora_Parse failed (ORA-00917: missing comma -- while processing OCI function OPARSE)
If I try and force the single quote to be surrounded by double quotes and therefore not be confused:
$name = "Dominick's";
Query = "INSERT INTO customers (name) values (\"$name\")";
Trying that yields the following error:
Warning: Ora_Parse failed (ORA-01741: illegal zero-length identifier -- while processing OCI function OPARSE)
Help
Jeff

If it is possible (and here it is) you should use str_replace instead of ereg_replaceThanks for the reminder about str_replace().
$Query = "INSERT INTO customers (name) values ('".addSlashes($name)."')";This gives an invalid Oracle SQL statement, which will generally fail with
ORA-01756: quoted string not properly terminatedFor Oracle, single quotes must be doubled, not escaped with backslash.
Of the solutions to insert the data, I'd prefer using bind variables
since no escaping or quote doubling is needed.

How to insert a string containing a single quote to the msql database? help

Absolutely, Positively use a PreparedStatement. Do not use sqlEscape() function unless you have some overriding need (and I don't know what that could possibly be).
There are 1000's of posts on the positive aspects of using a PreparedStatement rather than using a Statement. The two primary positive attributes of using a PreparedStatement are automatic escaping of Strings and a stronger security model for your application.

when i submit the content need to be inserted/updated.
when the text field contains character's with single quote( ' )..
i am unable to insert/update values in database..

The usual answer for this in the JDBC forum (where this should have been posted because it's completely about JDBC) is to use a PreparedStatement.

JDBC insert single quote ???

Hi,
I want to insert a string which could contain a single quote ( ' ) into my database . But if this is the case, the regular insert command fails, since the single quote from the string collides with the ones from the command. What can I do???

Try placing an escape char "\".
So its like:
String s="Sachin\'s page";
If ur using it in xml use:
' to replace '.
Hope this helps.
Sachin

Incorrect SELECT statement with single quotes

I am getting the following error trying to select a value from a database:
SQLException caught: [Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] Syntax error (missing operator) in query expression 'mod='Payroll''. Couldn't load driver:[Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] Syntax error (missing operator) in query expression 'mod='Payroll''.
Here is the select statement code:
PreparedStatement ps = con.prepareStatement("SELECT username FROM experts WHERE mod='"+mod+"'");
I have tried all kinds of variations with the quotes, and single quotes but still get the same error...I know I'm on the right track but I can't seem to spot the error and was hoping someone else could??
thanks in advance,
chuk
