Question

Insertion fails when “‘” is used.
example string is: He’s is a boy.
I’ve attempted to skip the “‘” using an escape symbol , but I believe this is not the right way.

textBox3.Text.Replace("'", " \'");
string sql= "insert into gtable (1text,1memo) values ('"+textBox3.Text+"',null)";
        OleDbCommand cmd = new OleDbCommand(sql, con);

        con.Open();
        cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
        con.Close();

I did have the option of replacing “‘” with “`” but this changes the text in the db as well. I wish to retain “‘” as the same , and also insert it into the db.

Answer 1

try

string sql= "insert into gtable (1text, 1memo) " + 
            "values ('" + textBox3.Text.Replace("'", "''") + "', null)";
