Return \' within a MySQL statement

Question

I have data stored in MySQL that looks like this:

q1
People\'s
People\'s
People\'s

I'm trying to write a MySQL statement to return a count of these but it's causing me an issue, I have tried all the following but to no avail:

SELECT * AS Total,
(SELECT COUNT(q1) FROM results WHERE q1 = 'People\'s') AS Count_Q1
FROM results

SELECT * AS Total,
(SELECT COUNT(q1) FROM results WHERE q1 = 'People'\'s')
FROM results

SELECT * AS Total,
(SELECT COUNT(q1) FROM results WHERE q1 = 'People''\'s')
FROM results

Can anyone spot where I am going wrong?

Answer 1

It should be:

SELECT *,
(SELECT COUNT(q1) FROM results WHERE q1 = 'People\\\'s') AS Total
FROM results

The above is coming right from the MySQL Documentation :

This SQL Fiddle demonstration shows that it does work.

Answer 2

Select * as Total,(select count(q1) from results where q1 = 'People\\\\\\'s') from results

it should work for u
