Question

In my sql table i have a column where i have values like :

I need to find these type of entries and remove single quotes as i dont need them, but how to fetch them through query in where clause ?
If i use select * from table 1 where desc = ‘the values is ’10’, it simply wont work as the statement is not correct.
how can i modify my where clause to get desired result?

Answer 1

Double the quotation mark to escape it :

select * from table 1 where desc = 'i am ''not'' a graduate'

As a side note, don’t select *, explicitly list the columns you are interested in:

select id, "desc" from table 1 where desc = 'i am ''not'' a graduate'

… And don’t name your columns with SQL reserved words 😉
