I am trying to run a simple query over jdbc ALTER TABLE Customer ALTER \”Cust-Name\” set PRO_DESCRIPTION ‘Customer Name’
This works perfectly well. But, when I have to set description as “Customer’s Name”, i.e, include a single quote – I am unable to get it to work.

I tried

ALTER TABLE Customer ALTER \"Cust-Name\" set PRO_DESCRIPTION 'Customer~'s Name'
ALTER TABLE Customer ALTER \"Cust-Name\" set PRO_DESCRIPTION 'Customer~~'s Name'
ALTER TABLE Customer ALTER \"Cust-Name\" set PRO_DESCRIPTION 'Customer\\'sName'
ALTER TABLE Customer ALTER \"Cust-Name\" set PRO_DESCRIPTION "Customer's Name"

Nothing works.

    I don’t know Progress, but the SQL standard is to duplicate the single quote:

    'Customer''s Name'
