SUMMARY
This article describes how to pass a single quote in a string to a SQL Server table using SQL passthrough with a DSNless ODBC connection.
MORE INFORMATION
The following example assumes that the Pubs database exists in a SQL Server datasource called SQLSERVER. The example creates a DSNless ODBC connection (TESTCONNECTION) to the SQL Server datasource, creates a table named SINGLEQUOTE, and inserts the string text into the table with the single quote imbedded in the string.
*!* Start of the program
SET SAFETY OFF
CLEAR
CLOSE DATA ALL
CREATE DATABASE test
*!* DSNless Connection to a SQL Server database
*!* In the following statement "DBMSSONCN" is the TCP/IP library name
CREATE CONNECTION testconnection CONNSTRING ;
"driver={sql server};server=SQLSERVER;uid=sa;pwd=;
database=pubs;network=dbmssocn"
xDSNLess = SQLCONNECT("testconnection")
IF xDSNLess > 0
*!* *CHAR(39) is a single quote or apostrophe in SQL Server
SQLEXEC(xDSNLess, "DROP TABLE singlequote")
SQLEXEC(xDSNLess, "CREATE TABLE singlequote (singlequote char(30))")
SQLEXEC(xDSNLess, "INSERT INTO singlequote ;
VALUES ('single'+char(39)+'quotes '+char(39)+'in the '+;
char(39)+ 'string')")
SQLEXEC(xDSNLess, "SELECT * from singlequote")
SQLEXEC(xDSNLess, "DROP TABLE singlequote")
BROWSE NOWAIT
ENDIF
SQLDISCONNECT(xDSNLess)
SET SAFETY ON
*!* End of the program
