# Handling Special Characters in SQL Statements
+ For example: `'` In the `VALUES` clause:
  + `INSERT INTO test.mkd (title) values ('Mother's day kisses');`
+ Solution 1: Use the backslash `(\)` character to escape
+ Solution 2: Use extra single quotes to escape
+ Solution 3: Use placeholders to replace symbolic markers with actual values at runtime:
  + Use `%s` format specifiers in the SQL statement string
