MySQL replace multiple character

Question

I need to fetch data from my MySQL database where one column is filled with strings that contains different quotes and apostrophes ( ', ', ` and the classic one ' ).

In my search bar, I want to be able to only write the classic one ' and be able to search for that specific field wheter it contains ', ' or `. For example, I'd like to write " Regie de l'Angleterre " and that it automatically checks " Regie de l'Angleterre " and so on.

Is that possible ?

How can I do something like this in SQL ? I tried to use REPLACE, but couldn't make it work with multiple

My where clause looks like this at the moment.

SELECT realestate_name FROM realestates WHERE REPLACE(realestate_name, ''','\'') LIKE %xxx%

Answer 1

You can use multiple replaces in one select the Replace function returns string so you can call another one outside it. Like this

SELECT 
realestate_name 
FROM realestates 
WHERE REPLACE(REPLACE(realestate_name, ''','\''),'’','\'')  LIKE %xxx%

Answer 2

SELECT realestate_name FROM realestates WHERE column LIKE '____'

Before you do that, change every single ' " ` and quotation mark and space to %, and put them on the ends

So it would look like this:

Regie de l'Angleterre becomes: %Regie%de%l%Angleterre%

SELECT realestate_name FROM realestates WHERE realestate_name LIKE %Regie%de%l%Angleterre%

This will work & run fine with a not so large database. If you have millions of records, LIKE becomes a nightmare.
