# Escaping A Quote In A String
|
|
|
|
In PostgreSQL, string (`varchar` and `text`) literals are declared with
|
|
single quotes (`'`). That means that any string containing a single quote
|
|
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!
|
|
```
