Question

In PhpMyAdmin I use this query:

SELECT * FROM myrecords where TITLE LIKE "%\\\"%"

To filter out badly saved records that have " sign escaped with \ sign. It should be just ". So I need to find only these records with \" and replace it with " only. But when I use the query above to filter the \" I get records with \" as well like the records with ".

How to make this query get only records with \" and not " alone?

@paul correct me, and it’s this way:

SELECT t1.title FROM myrecords as t1 where replace(title,'\\\"','@') LIKE "%@%";
