I can&#x27;t tell if you&#x27;re trolling or not, but this is not how string escaping works in SQL or any other programming language that I know.<p><pre><code>    &gt;&gt; SELECT &#x27;here is an apostrophe: \&#x27;&#x27;;
    &gt;&gt; returns: here is an apostrophe: &#x27;
</code></pre>
The backslash is not part of the string but just a hint to the compiler. The literal string &#x27;\&#x27;&#x27; represents a one byte (if ASCII) string containing only a single apostrophe character.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Escape_character" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Escape_character</a>
