How can I write SQL to do the following:

UPDATE Comments
SET Comment='it's great'
WHERE UserID='joe' AND GameID='503'

This code as-is generates an error from the 'it's great' due to the quotes problem it has. Is there a way to escape the single quote in the string or something?

Much thanks

Use double single quotes. Look for RED.

UPDATE Comments
SET Comment='it'[red]'[/red]s great'
WHERE UserID='joe' AND GameID='503'
