Inserting a string with double quotes into a table

Question

I\'m using Oracle 10g and I\'m having a problem inserting a string with double quotes into a table. This is my statement

INSERT INTO USERS (ID, NAME, USERNAM         


        

Answer 1

It is possible. In Oracle, you quote string literals using single quotes.

If you want to insert test into the database then you must quote that as 'test'.

INSERT INTO USERS (NAME) VALUES ('test');

If you want to insert "test" into the database then you must quote that as '"test"'.

INSERT INTO USERS (NAME) VALUES ('"test"');
