Hi I want to insert all escape characters in a column in MySQL. I can not insert \ always because a long data may have a lot escape 开发者_如何学运维characters.

Thanks Sunil Kumar Sahoo

I am not sure if I am getting this correct but you

• have a lot of data
• you want to insert them into database with regular SQL commands
• most of data requires escaping.

So you have no much options. Since there is no direct binary mode in MySQL you

• either execute SQL script with escaping
• you will write parametrized queries and insert data directly with some custom tool you will write.

If choosing first approach have a look at MySQL manual for some escaping string details. Particularly you may escape one backslash \ with double backslashes \\ sequence. Also have a look at NO_BACKSLASH_ESCAPES, which eliminates need for escaping completly.
