MySQL's QUOTE(~) method returns a string enclosed in single quotation marks that is properly escaped. Each instance of backslash (\), single quote ('), ASCII NUL, and Control+Z is preceded by a backslash.
Parameters
1. str | string
The string to be returned with escape characters.
Return value
A string enclosed in single quotation marks that is properly escaped.
Examples
Basic usage
To return a properly escaped string for "Didn't!":
SELECT QUOTE("Didn't!");
+------------------+| QUOTE("Didn't!") |+------------------+| 'Didn\'t!' |+------------------+
Note that a backslash is added before the apostrophe to indicate that it should be interpreted as such and not as a string delimiter.
