Hi,
I am writing an sql to retrieve data relating to certain files in a folder from my database. Some times part of the data may contain a ' character.

here's an example of the sql

select * from files where location = '\\\\\\\\192.168.0.100\\\\clients\\\\o''orielly\\\\file%'


this recults returns no records from my database, even though there are records there. the records are path + file names, thats why i have to use the \ charater to escape them, this does not seem to like me using ' to escape the ' character, any ideas?
