Question

Please forgive me as I am a bit of an sql noob. I am trying to do an insert using the following but am having a problem with the apostrophes. I have a lots of records to insert but many have the same problem.
Is there a way of escaping them?

INSERT INTO  [dbo].[tb_Chefs] ([ChefHotelID], [HotelID], [ChefID],   
     [Position],  [GroupID])  
VALUES(N'b809a86e-f7f2-45b2-a240-0049f51509d7' ,N'14481', N'624', 
     N'Chef d'atelier', N'331')
GO

Any help much appreciated.

Answer 1

'Chef d'atelier' becomes 'Chef d''atelier'

Just double them up

If a character string enclosed in
single quotation marks contains an
embedded quotation mark, represent the
embedded single quotation mark with
two single quotation marks.
