Edit: https://www.sqlite.org/faq.html#q14
Don't need to use quotes, in fact single quotes are strings, only "" will be interpolated.
You do NOT need to backslash the single quotes you can do: "John's"
Code:
sqlite> INSERT INTO "pdata"
...> ("id", "First", "Last", "Name", "CatId", "Sub",
...> "Location", "Phone", "Cell", "Email", "Notes")
...>
...> VALUES (3, "Beth", "Jean's Friend", "Jean's Friend, Beth",
...> 6, 0, "", "208.255.8015", "",
...> "", "Jean's Friend");
sqlite> select first, last, name from pdata
...> ;
First Last Name
---------- -------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Beth Jean's Friend Jean's Friend, Beth
sqlite>
I have given up using quotes, I do an awful lot of SQLite..
observe:
Code:
sqlite> select tile_data, "tile_data", 'tile_data' from tiles limit 1;
Give your very best today. Heaven knows it's little enough.
