OPENQUERY and string

Hi

Does anyone know how to include a string in the statement of an open query?

I want to execute the following query:

select * from TEST where A like 'A'

But if use this it in an openquery like it follows

SELECT *

FROM OPENQUERY (MD_AS400, 'select * from TEST where A like 'A'')

The 'A' is not recognize like a string.

This is due to the single quote around 'A'

try this

''A'''

rule is if u need a quoted string put TWO quotes.

You should escape quote by putting another quote.

So your query would be

' select * from TEST where A like ''A'' '

Lot of lanugaues accepted the escape sequence char starts with \.

But in SQL Server (i remember in VB & MDX also) the same character will be repeated.

Code Snippet

SELECT *

FROM OPENQUERY (MD_AS400, 'select * from TEST where A like ''A''')
