Dear Friends,

I have small doubt. When user enters the ' (single quotes) in the text field.
While inserting in Table, it give us the error.
But I have seen in few sites eg- Facebook, CodeProject where they allow ' (single quotes) and display the same.
Can anyone guide me on this.

Solution 2

On the submit, use a bit of code that is like this:

VB

replace(TEXTBOXNAME, "'", "''")

Of course, a better option would be to use a stored procedure and parameter, thus not needing to worry about it!!

Hi,

If you want to add '(apostrophe) in sql server, then it should be like this

INSERT INTO exampleTbl VALUES('Hope this works for you - R''K');

Output will be
Hope this works for you - R'K

Add two apostrophe(') if you want to add one.

Hope this helps you a bit.

Regards,
RK

I know that, But think, if the user submitting a data of 5 to 10 pages. Then how to do it, do i need to write replace query for all.
