| Hello,declare @value varchar(100)set @value = ('uk', 'us', 'en')Let's say I have a variable as above which gets populated from the UI...I would like to check if the variable has the correct single quotes around the text.So the user can miss one or more of the single quotes and so I would like to check for that.I would like the sql to show that there are missing single quotesDue to business rules, there is no UI code available.So do you know how this can be done in sql please?Thanks |

First off, that is invalid syntax. In SQL Server you cannot set a variable to a tuple. This would workdeclare @value varchar(100)set @value = '''uk'''if left(@value,1) <> '''' or right(@value,1) <> '''' print 'not enclosed in sinqle quotations' |
