I am trying to read in contents and write insert statements to create an sql script using Python.
I have come across an issue when the content I read contains an aprostrophe and I’m not sure how do I workaround this issue, because I can’t just simply replace (‘) with any other characters as I’m dealing with asciimathml (Maths data) and I can’t just change the contents I have read.
Many thanks!
You can use one of the escape_string functions (every db package provides one) to double the single quote or precede it by a backslash. But you’ll be far better off if you use parameter substitution. For example:
Do it that way and the server will ensure that your strings are escaped properly.
