Hi,

What is the best way to Insert when we have '&' as part of our string. I want to frame INSERT statements such as the one below, and pass on to the user.

insert_customers.sql:

INSERT INTO customers (customer_name) VALUES ('Sun Microsystems');
INSERT INTO customers (customer_name) VALUES ('HP');
INSERT INTO customers (customer_name) VALUES ('AT & T');

bla bla bla

This script asks for Input and does not Insert correctly. Please suggest me how I can modify the script and still be able to insert AT & T correctly.

TIA, Krishna
