I usually use php for most of my work, but I have to run a fair percentage
of maintenance etc from the mysql shell program. I have a record that has
an apostrophe and so was inserted using php by escaping the ' with \ so that
it was put in as \' and it shows up in the record as O'Brien as it should.
I am trying to run a select statement from the shell program and it will not
accept \ or double '' for escaping it. Pretty simple problem, but I can't
find anything via google for it. (Or the manual for that matter. )
\ and double '' both should work inside '-quoted strings. Please show
how you're entering your query and the resulting error message.
TIA
