I have found that to insert a single ' into a field using INSERT the ' needs to be doubled to ''. How do you insert a &? Given that my company is EG&G, and my customers don't like seeing EG+G, I'd like to know how this is done. I'd expect this is a simple thing, maybe already in a FAQ, but I don't see a FAQ here either.

I am also often asked if it is possible to insert a CR/LF into an Oracle CHAR field.

Thanks for your help!! Voice: (208) 526-5801 Fax: (208) 526-8480 Received on Wed Mar 16 1994 - 16:43:27 CET
