To remove apostrophe, replace it. For this, you can use REPLACE(). Following is the syntax −
SET anyVariableName = REPLACE(yourVaribleName , '\'', '');
To understand the above syntax, let us create a stored procedure to remove the apostrophe in MySQL −
mysql> DELIMITER // mysql> CREATE PROCEDURE remove_Apostrophe(IN Value VARCHAR(200)) BEGIN SET Value = REPLACE(Value , '\'', ''); SELECT CONCAT("AFTER REMOVING APOSTROPHE THE STRING IS= ", Value); END // Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.15 sec) mysql> DELIMITER ;
Call the stored procedure using CALL command −
mysql> CALL remove_Apostrophe("Introduction to My'SQL");
This will produce the following output −
+----------------------------------------------------------------+ | CONCAT("AFTER REMOVING APOSTROPHE THE STRING IS= ", Value) | +----------------------------------------------------------------+ | AFTER REMOVING APOSTROPHE THE STRING IS= Introduction to MySQL | +----------------------------------------------------------------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec) Query OK, 0 rows affected, 1 warning (0.01 sec)
