Yes it is. Sounds like you may concatenate strings to you SQL statement. Don't do that. Instead use SqlParameter[^]. With parameters you won't have any problems with quotation marks

As I understood your question you want to have single quote in your string literals so use it double to distinguish it from the SQL command single quote , for example :

SQL

insert into names(name) values ('John')

will insert John , but :

SQL

insert into names(name) values ('''John''')

will insert 'John' .

or :

SQL

insert into names(name) values ('o''reilly')

will insert o'reilly

Hope it helps.
