Replace Single Quotes in SQL


You need to use double quotes to represent single quote for SQL to understand:

For instance, to replace single quote with empty space:
(I have colored red for input quotes and non red for replacements for easy reading)

Replace(@string, '''','')

To replace single quote with two single quotes, it would be

Replace(@string,'''','''''')

Just remember, 2 quotes for each single quote, plus opening and closing quotes.
