MySQL Replace Syntax
Hi, I want to replace this ’ with ' in MySQL.
Table: songs
Field: name
This is what I have and It I get an error
SELECT REPLACE('name', '’', ''');
Any ideas?

SELECT REPLACE(name, '’', '''');
try
SELECT REPLACE('na’me', '’', "'"); // or
SELECT REPLACE("'name'", "'", "");
you also could escape characters SELECT REPLACE('na’me', '\’', "\'");

I need to put the table and field name in there too. So what is the syntax that way?

When I use PHP my admin, I need to specify what table and field I want to change too. I can't use escape characters for what I'm trying to do.
So this: SELECT REPLACE(tablename.columnna
Will replace all ’
with this '
?
Thanks

yes, but ' (single quote) is a string delimiter so you should escape it
so REPLACE will replace quotes only inside the data of the column, but not in column name
