How do I escape a single quote in SQL Server?

Question

I\'m trying to insert some text data into a table in SQL Server 9.

The text includes a single quote(\').

How do I escape that?

Answer 1

2 ways to work around this:

---

for ' you can simply double it in the string, e.g. select 'I''m happpy' -- will get: I'm happy

---

For any charactor you are not sure of: in sql server you can get any char's unicode by select unicode(':') (you keep the number)

So this case you can also select 'I'+nchar(39)+'m happpy'
