How can I use a string containing a single quote (‘) in the SQL IN clause?

To use a string containing a single quote (‘) in the SQL IN clause, you need to escape the single quote by doubling it (”). Here’s an example:

Example Query:

sql

Copy code

SELECT *

FROM table_name

WHERE column_name IN (‘O”Reilly’, ‘Smith’, ‘Johnson’);

Explanation:

The string O’Reilly is escaped as O”Reilly.

SQL interprets the doubled single quote (”) as a literal single quote (‘).

This ensures that the query runs correctly without syntax errors.
