I have a string – 

insert into staging_table values('AC','36569','SL','4950 W NEWPORT','CHICAGO');insert into staging_table values('AC','36569','SL','4950 W NEWPORT','CHICAGO');

I have a worksheet TEST and it has 2 columns SQL,flg.

Data under these columns is " ",1

How can I write an update statement to update the value of column SQL where flg is 1 with above string.

The problem I am facing is that the single quotes present in the string, when I execute the update statement I get a syntax error …Please advise.

    ...values(''AC'',''36569'',...
