Answer 1

You need to just replace ' with '' inside your string

SELECT colA, colB, colC
FROM tableD
WHERE colA = 'John''s Mobile'

You can also use REPLACE(@name, '''', '''''') if generating the SQL dynamically

If you want to escape inside a like statement then you need to use the ESCAPE syntax

It's also worth mentioning that you're leaving yourself open to SQL injection attacks if you don't consider it. More info at Google or: http://it.toolbox.com/wiki/index.php/How_do_I_escape_single_quotes_in_SQL_queries%3F
