If you are using the shell, 'S\'ARENAL' parses to 'S'ARENAL' before it is sent to the server.
You will need to escape the escape character.
'S\\'Arenal'
or maybe even 'S\\\'Arenal' or 'S\\\\'ARENAL'
It depends on how many parsers scan the string before it gets sent on to the server.
If you are using perl or PHP use the quoting functions provided.

Hi, How can I make a query that looks for a city that has a " ' " in the name? For instance, I am looking for the name S'ARENAL, but the query below does not work:
SELECT intl_localidades.id, intl_localidades.codigo_pais, intl_localidades.localidad_es,intl_zonas.zona,intl_paises.pais_es FROM intl_localidades INNER JOIN intl_zonas ON (intl_localidades.codigo_zona = intl_zonas.id) INNER JOIN intl_paises ON (intl_zonas.codigo_pais = intl_paises.id) INNER JOIN intl_province_mapping ON (intl_localidades.id = intl_province_mapping.location_code) WHERE ((intl_province_mapping.provider_code = 25) and (intl_province_mapping.provider_city_code = 'S\'ARENAL'))
