Update table1 set account = 'CD'S NOT MINE' WHERE NUMBER = '0027201'

I have an script.sql that receives as a parameter an string.
example:
@C:/myscript.sql "o'connor"
user_account_value varchar2(120) := '&1';
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE "Select * from Table where column = :1 " USING user_account_value I am not sure how to deal with string that contains single quotes.
If the parameter were passed as : "o''connor" this will work
If the parameter is pass as: "o'connor" this will not work.
so my question is what options do I have to deal with dynamic queries and single quotes.
I tried replacing replace(myParameter,'''',''''''); but not working well.

In the above mentioned data file, records has multiple special characters like '°','¶' ,'-'.
All these special characters have some meaning.
eg: '°' specifies the above column needs to be multiplied by -1
'¶' specifies the above column needs to be multiplied by -0.1
what changes need to be made in loader utility for the same? Also, will there be any change in the utility if I am using higher version of oracle?

Is there any way I can use some escape character for loading this type of data.
how do we know database character set is either single character set or multi character set?
While changing character-set from AL32UTF8 to WE8MSWIN1252 got "ORA-12712: new character set must be a superset of old character set".
Below are steps taken to resolve the issue -

i got this error: ORA-12712: new character set must be a superset of old character set
below are the commands executed by me:

I have not done it in proper order. Neither have done ccsscan. Still, no user reported any issues. Do my changes truncated the data?
The description field in the item table has the single quote used as the symbol for feet. I have the same issue pulling from a last name field in other tables. (Like O'Connor)

exception when others then null;
The error I get is "Missing right quote". How do I code around this issue without having to change the data?
I have table say Messages. In which there is a column msg_text varchar2(900).My requirement is to fetch the very last character of the msg_text for a single row identified by its msg_code(primary key).
The problem is, whenever msg_text contain second last character as single quote( ' ), it doesn't give me the last character i.e. after the single quote.For example if msg_text is "Congratulations, you opted for 'A'." and if its message_code is 10 then query
SQL> SELECT SUBSTR(msg_text,LENGTH(msg_text),LENGTH(msg_text)) AS LAST_CHAR
FROM messages
WHERE msg_code = 10;
returns nothing.
Whereas if msg_text is "Are you sure to continue?" and if its message_code is 20 then query
SQL> SELECT SUBSTR(msg_text,LENGTH(msg_text),LENGTH(msg_text)) AS LAST_CHAR
FROM messages
WHERE msg_code = 20;
returns character '?'.

which is the better option to use when the quote needs to be concatenated to a varchar2 value i.e.
In order to insert 'test' into a column exactly as yet see I used:

However, the DBA (OCP) says that is not a good way to do it and should be changed to:

I'd like to use escape sequences in plsql but it didn't work.I have to use a variable 'v_jahr'..This is what I like to do:
SELECT COUNT(TABLE_NAME) FROM USER_TABLES
WHERE TABLE_NAME = 'TABLE' || v_jahr;
But I think I should use an 'EXECUTE IMMEDIATE' like this:
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'SELECT COUNT(TABLE_NAME) FROM USER_TABLES
WHERE TABLE_NAME = 'TABLE' || v_jahr';
But then I have to escape my tics. How can I do this?
I tried this:
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'SELECT COUNT(TABLE_NAME) FROM USER_TABLES
WHERE TABLE_NAME = '||''''||'TABELLE_'||'''' || v_jahr ||'''';

I'm trying to insert a character from the extended ascii character set. Specifically, there's a company that has an accented e (�) in the name. Right now, the company name doesn't have the e at all, accent or no accent. So I'm trying to do an update, something like
update table1 set company_name='blah�" where company='blah'
It runs, but doesn't do the update. Even when I try to forcefully do an insert (instead of an update) I get nowhere; the accented is simply dropped. So the basic question is, how do you insert extended ascii characters into oracle?

I am using C++ OCI LIB, to insert some report data from remote OCI client to oracle 11 server. This data is read by another process to create the report.The DB CHARSET is UTF-8. But the report tool expects the data to be ISO08859-1 encoded. So while inserting the data into the database i specify the following LANG and CHARSET for my table colulmn in client:
The TARGET DB CHARSET is UTF-8
NLS_LANG=AMERICAN_AMERICA.WE8ISO8859P1
size_t csid = 871; // UTF-8
OCIAtrSet((void *) bnd1p, (ub4) OCI_HTYPE_BIND,
*(void *)&csid*,
(ub4) 0,
(ub4)OCI_ATTR_CHARSET_ID, errhp);
This solution works for almost every case of ASCII and Extended ASCII Charest but we are facing issues if we have few specific characters to be inserted.f we are trying to insert single beta character [β] through client, the data goes empty to the column.
Beta Character details:
DEC OCT HEX BIN Symbol Description
223 337 DF 11011111 ß Latin small letter sharp s - ess-zed
DB Output after insert single β:
select rawtohex(NAME) from PERSONS where EID=333;
RAWTOHEX(NAME)
---------------------------
But if the string is *"ββ"* everything work fine:
DB Output for "ββ":
select rawtohex(NAME) from PERSONS where EID=333;
RAWTOHEX(NAME)
