To insert records with double quotes, use a backslash (\) as in the below syntax −
Syntax
insert into yourTableName values('\"yourValue\"');
Let us first create a table −
mysql> create table DemoTable -> ( -> Name varchar(20) -> ); Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.63 sec)
Insert some records in the table using insert command −
mysql> insert into DemoTable values('\"John\"'); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.17 sec) mysql> insert into DemoTable values('\"Chris\"'); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.11 sec) mysql> insert into DemoTable values('\"Adam Smith\"'); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.14 sec) mysql> insert into DemoTable values('\"Carol\"'); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.20 sec)
Display all records from the table using select statement −
mysql> select *from DemoTable;
This will produce the following output. The double quotes around the records can be easily seen −
+--------------+ | Name | +--------------+ | "John" | | "Chris" | | "Adam Smith" | | "Carol" | +--------------+ 4 rows in set (0.00 sec)
