Update and Replace database in MySQL with special character '

Question

I have to change s-Gravenland into 's-Gravenland in my database

I use find and replace,

UPDATE Voornamen_2 SET Buurt = REPLACE(Buurt, 's-Gravenland', ''s-Gravenland');

This doesn't work obviously, how do I insert the extra ' ?

Answer 1

Use double single quotes to represent a single quote in a string:

UPDATE Voornamen_2
    SET Buurt = REPLACE(Buurt, 's-Gravenland', '''s-Gravenland');

Answer 2

Use an extra single quote char to accept it as part of data.

UPDATE Voornamen_2 
   SET Buurt = REPLACE( Buurt, 's-Gravenland', '''s-Gravenland' );

Or, you can also escape it to include with the data.

UPDATE Voornamen_2 
   SET Buurt = REPLACE( Buurt, 's-Gravenland', '\'s-Gravenland' );

Answer 3

Below query should work:

UPDATE Voornamen_2 
SET Buurt = REPLACE(Buurt, "s-Gravenland", "'s-Gravenland");
