How to display a single quote text as a column value in MySQL?


To display a single quote text, use double quotes like if you want to write You’ve, then write You've while inserting i.e. with double-quotes. Let us first create a table −

mysql> create table DemoTable
(
   Note text
);
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.57 sec)

Insert some records in the table using insert command −

mysql> insert into DemoTable values('You''ve seen the Taj? When?');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.09 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable values('You''ve visited the US?');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.16 sec)

Display all records from the table using select statement −

mysql> select *from DemoTable;

This will produce the following output. Here, the text You’ve is correctly visible −

+---------------------------------+
| Note                            |
+---------------------------------+
| You've seen the Taj? When?      |
| You've visited the US?          |
+---------------------------------+
2 rows in set (0.00 sec)
