ESQL CHARACTER data type

The character data type holds a variable length string of Unicode characters. A character string literal consists of any number of characters in single quotation marks. If you want to include a single quotation mark within a character string literal, use another single quotation mark as an escape character.

For example, the assignment SET X='he''was''' puts the value he'was' into X.
