Author Include French (or other European) words in a SQL statement

Hi all,

I was unable to include a French word in a SQL statement :

MemberTable{Prop:SQL} =3D 'select * from "MemberTable" where
"SurName" like ''%L'extr=EAme%''

It's ok if I use English names only.

Any suggestion.

Is it the circonflex or the single quote causing the problem?

Hi Jon,

It's the circonflex.

I ask because the example you give is obviously wrong.

'select * from "MemberTable" where
"SurName" like ''%L'extr=EAme%''

doesn't even compile, let alone send the right string to the back end.

famcomp{Prop:SQL} =3D 'Select * from famcomp where noals like ''' &
'%=E0=E9%'''

correctly sends

Select * from famcomp where noals like '%=E0=E9%'

to the back end
