Hello Harvinder,

If you are doing the insert from SQL*Plus, double up on the
quote. For example:

insert into your table (name) values ('''joy''');

The resulting value will be (quotes included):

    'joy'

BTW, this came in handy recently when I went to a web site
(I won't say whose) and tried to search for a term with an
apostrophe in it. The search kept failing with some sort of
string error, so it eventually occurred to me to use a
double-apostrophe where I wanted one. The search then
worked. Obviously some programmer didn't take the
possibility of a user entering an apostrophe into account
when he concatenated everything together to build his SQL
statement.

Best regards,

Jonathan Gennick
