Question

I am facing problem that. when I insert single quote in text field. on insertion it give exception of incorrect syntax near that particular field. why is it? does single quote has special meaning to sqlserver?

what if user what to enter word like don’t , it’s, or sometime by mistake enter single quote in start then it give exception. is there any sol to handle this? if single quote has issue with sqlserver.. then how to deal it?

Answer 1

SQL Server strings are enclosed (typically) in single quotes, so a single quote within a string will result in an error if you don’t escape it prior to it being INSERTed.

Single quotes simply need to be doubled up, so the string Will''s World would result in Will's World making it’s way into the data.
