I have an sql question. I need to be able to search for text which
may have buried single-quotes. I need to be able to effectively
ignore the single-quote in the WHERE clause. Here is an example of
what a user might be looking for, but the data may have an embedded
single-quote:
PARKS PLACE ADDN
But, the data field may contain one of the two following entries,
both legitimate:
PARKS PLACE ADDN
PARK'S PLACE ADDN
What would be the best way to structure the WHERE clause to
effectively capture both types of records?
The more general question would be, "How to structure a query to
ignore certain characters?"
Regards,
Dale Seaburg
