Hi,
How will i mask special characters when i input them as
data to the table.eg
SQL>update my_table set my_field= 'here's the field' where my_prim_key ='X';

ERROR i get :
-----------------
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00933: SQL command not properly ended
------------------
Here i want to insert a single quote(') as a text string into my oracle field .
i also tried a backslash(\) before the qoute ,but it doesn't help.
Please suggest me a solution.
Regards,
S Bala

To mask %

assume that your input is abc%def%gh

then you can try like this

update my_table set my_field= chr(37)||'abc'||chr(37)||'def'||chr(37)||'gh'
where my_prim_key ='X';

If you want other than this please explain in more detail.
