Question : Encoding Escape Characters In SQL Statements Executed Through PowerShell
Hello,
I am attempting to execute a an SQL query through PowerShell against an MS Access database. My query works 99% of the time, but occasionally a localized string will cause an error beacuse it contains a single quote (') somewhere within the localized string. You can look at the following example to get a better idea of what I am talking about:
SELECT TermNo, File, Context
FROM ExceptionFC
WHERE TermNo = 1
AND File = '\\fr\Content\fr_localized
_content.x
ml'
AND Context = '(le second niveau), lequel doit accéder aux ressources d'un serveur de base de données ou d'un partage réseau (le troisième niveau). Le jeton de sécurité principal utilisé entre le navigateur et le s'
In most languages I could add slashes to this string to escape out the single quotes (') in the string. But I don's seem to be able to do that in PowerShell.
Is there a way I can execute this query within PowerShell and receive an accurate response back from the database?
Thank you.

As I already said: you need to double single quotes in your text *before* you pass it to the database.
