My sql table structure is this ID DataName 1 Lipsum lorem 3 lipsum’s lorem

My sql table structure is this

ID  DataName
1   Lipsum lorem 
3   lipsum's lorem

My inline query in asp.net is that

select * from table where DataName like 'lipsum's lorem'

It gives the following errors:

Msg 102, Level 15, State 1, Line 1
Incorrect syntax near 's'.
Msg 105, Level 15, State 1, Line 1
Unclosed quotation mark after the character string ''.

I don’t want to create a stored procedure to prevent this, I want a solution to this using inline queries.

    Your query should look like…

    select * from table where DataName like 'lipsum''s lorem'

    As you need to escape the ' to ' to get it to work.
