# Escaping A Quote In A String
In PostgreSQL, strings (`varchar` and `text`) literals are declared with
single quotes (`'`). That means that any string containing a single quote as
part of the content of the string will need some escaping. The way to escape
a single quote is with another single quote.
```sql
> select 'what''s up!';
?column?
------------
what's up!
```
