MySQL query to search record with apostrophe?

Let us first create a table −

mysql> create table DemoTable
-> (
-> Name varchar(100)
-> );
Query OK, 0 rows affected (2.23 sec)

Insert some records in the table using insert command −

mysql> insert into DemoTable values('John');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.20 sec)

mysql> insert into DemoTable values('Sam\\''s');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.28 sec)

mysql> insert into DemoTable values('David\\''s');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.36 sec)

Display all records from the table using select statement −

mysql> select *from DemoTable;

+----------+
| Name     |
+----------+
| John     |
| Sam\'s   |
