RE: escaping character in sql statements

Just a na=EFve question.  Was your query to find a client of o'oreilly =
(as
shown) or o'reilly (a more traditional spelling)?

Subject: escaping character in sql statements

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 =3D
'\\\\\\\\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?
