Problem Note 65422: Inserting a string that contains an embedded apostrophe into BigQuery via JDBC returns the error "…Execute error: … Error executing query job"
 |  |  |  |  |
When you insert character data into a Google Cloud BigQuery table, a syntax error occurs under the following circumstances
- The character value contains an embedded apostrophe or single quotation mark (for example, "O'Neil").
- The SAS® library uses the SAS/ACCESS® Interface to JDBC (SASIOJDB) engine.
- The target table is in Google Cloud BigQuery.
When you insert a string like "O'Neil", the error message includes the second part of the string (in this example, "Neil"):
ERROR: Execute error: [Simba][BigQueryJDBCDriver](100032) Error executing
query job. Message: Syntax error: Expected ")" or "," but got string literal 'Neil' at [1:53]
query job. Message: Syntax error: Expected ")" or "," but got string literal 'Neil' at [1:53]
Workarounds include the following:
- Pre-process the data to remove any embedded apostrophes and quotation marks.
- Use SAS/ACCESS® Interface to ODBC.
- Use SAS/ACCESS® Interface to Google BigQuery.
