Can't you escape the single quotes like so? @QUERY= 'SELECT email FROM table WHERE donotemail = ''Y''' ~Cynthia -----Original Message----- From: Eric Creese [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, January 24, 2005 5:25 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Need single quotes in SQL but is stored inside variable. I need to write out a SQL statement to a string and set it to a varible inwhich i can call it from the EXEC() command. However in my SQL state ment I have to use single quotes for string criteria for example : SELECT email FROM table WHERE donotemail = 'Y' But what I have to do is take that exmple and set it to a variable like so: @QUERY= 'SELECT email FROM table WHERE donotemail = 'Y'' How do I escape the single quotes around the Y? This is being done inside a stored proc in SQL2K. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Find out how CFTicket can increase your company's customer support efficiency by 100% http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=49 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:191601 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
