Re: SQL update/insert for a string contain " ' "

You could ignore these difficulties (and from the looks of your code)
improve
performance if you'd use a prepared statement instead of mashing strings
together on your own. In general, this is a bad way to use SQL if you
execute
the statement more than one time with different parameters.

For some reason, I think that you'll come through this code more than
once in your application with the text field (and thus 'desc') set to
different values.
Use a prepared statement so you can avoid the engine recompiling
the statement and creating those resource each time.

> String desc = getJTextFieldDesc().getText();
>
> String update = "update myTable set DESCRIPTION = '"+desc+"' where ID =
1";
>
> stmt.createStatement(); <<-- Typo/Bug here.
> stmt.executeUpdate(update);

Should instead be this...

// Do one time per connection
PreparedStatement   pstmt = conn.prepareStatment("update myTable set
DESCRIPTION = ? where ID = 1");

// Later in mainline path
String desc = getJTextFieldDesc().getText();
pstmt.setString(1, desc);
pstmt.executeUpdate();



In every single ethnic, religious or racial group, there are a
very few truly evil people. For each of those people there
are many, many, many good people.
Assuming anything (evilness or capability for evil) about the
particular group is bigotry and idiocy. Don't do it.  -- Me

 Hi Xu Weining;
 One way to do this is to parse the text before update. For single quote,
you have to make it double quote. Like this "Tom''s desk". This string will
be sent to database as "Tom's desk".
