    inserting single quotes in column

    Yello.

    When I do this:

    SELECT rule FROM filter;

    I want to see this:

    name = 'John'

    So....

    How do I insert test data with the single quotes, i.e.

    INSERT INTO filter (rule) values (name = \'John\').

    Thanks.

    p.s. I did a search but it wasn't making sense, because people were saying use CHAR(32) or something like that, I don't understand.

    Cool

    Try:
    Code:
    INSERT INTO filter (rule) values (name = '''John''');
    -- or --
    INSERT INTO filter (rule) values (name = CHR(39)||'John'||CHR(39));
