Hi,

If the string contains single quotation mark, how can I search it using SQL??

E.g. the string is "o'clock",
select * from table1 where code = 'o'clock'

Please advise.

Two ways I know, replace the single quote with 2 single quotes

select * from table1 where code = 'o''clock'

or

set quoted_identifier off
select * from table1 where code = "o'clock"

Have a look in BOL - Delimited Identifiers
