hi

i try to do an insert or update in FMP database by JDBC with a text contains an apostrophe

[color:"red"]

  INSERT INTO table ("fieldtext") VALUES ('d'abord') 

the insert failed

How can i put my apostrophe in SQL

i try URLEncode but in filemaker i don't see the caractere ' in my string

somebody have a solution ?

The ('d'abord') must be wrong in all languages.

Maybe ("d'abord") or ('d"'"abord') I don't know.

i know it is an example what i try to do

i try lot of things to replace ' in the string

u0027 or %27 or "'" or ' and many

help me

insert value "d'abord"

should work - you will have to search for that character in some middleware though using something like this:

protected static boolean hasEscapeQuotes (String input){

boolean ret = false;

String escape = "';,."/";

for (int i =0 ; i < escape.length(); i++){

char test = escape.charAt(i);

if (input.indexOf(test) != -1) ret = true;

}

return ret;

}

alternatively you can try and use the

escape drive properties

i find that these properties are poorly implemented ( if at all ) and it is better to write your own class

sorry that first method will only work to remove the apostrophes

have u tried with prepared statements?

the escape characters are handled automatically

The escape property is only use for indentifier (table name, field name ...) not for data. It only use with RAD tools that don't support space or other things in identifier
