Using Apostrophes and Quotes In ALLBASE/SQL, a single apostrophe or quote characters terminate the definition of a string variable. Apostrophe and quote characters may be included within string variables by using a pair of the desired apostrophe or quote characters. The pair is passed to ALLBASE/SQL and is treated as a single character. An odd number of these characters is treated as a pair or group of pairs followed by a string termination. Therefore, a single apostophe in a name should be doubled. For example, the single apostrophe in the name O'Brian should be typed as O''Brian.
