How do I insert a special character such as ' (single quote) into MySQL?
To insert a special character such as “ ‘ “ (single quote) into MySQL, you need to use \’ escape character. The syntax is as follows −
insert into yourTableName(yourColumnName) values(' yourValue\’s ');
To understand the above syntax, let us create two tables. The query to create first table is as follows −
mysql> create table AvoidInsertErrorDemo -> ( -> Id int NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY, -> Sentence text -> ); Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.53 sec)
Now you can insert special character such as ‘ in the table using insert command. The query is as follows −
mysql> insert into AvoidInsertErrorDemo(Sentence) values('a woman\'s hat'); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.16 sec) mysql> insert into AvoidInsertErrorDemo(Sentence) values('Mrs. Chang\'s house'); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.31 sec)
Display all records from the table using select statement:
mysql> select *from AvoidInsertErrorDemo;
The following is the output −
+----+--------------------+ | Id | Sentence | +----+--------------------+ | 1 | a woman's hat | | 2 | Mrs. Chang's house | +----+--------------------+ 2 rows in set (0.00 sec)
