[thelist] Re: Adjusting strings for SQL

[Jerry Scannell]

This may sound like a "kluge", but what I do is change the apostrophes to `
(I call it the backwards apostrophe since I don't know it's proper name.  It
is found next to the 1 key.

I, too, have always struggled with the double quote as a string delimiter,
and an apostrophe as an allowable alternative.  What do you do when the
apostrophe is part of the data.  My kluge takes care of it and nobody ever
really notices.  For instance, O'Neil and O`Neil look almost identical.

Try it.
