Do you mean a single quote? like this?:

SQL> update tablea set fielda = ' james''ste Camp ''first,''sec'' ';

1 row updated.

SQL> select * from tablea;

FIELDA

james'ste Camp 'first,'sec'

1 row selected.

or:

SQL> update tablea set fielda = ' james'||chr(39)||'ste Camp '||chr(39)||'first,'||chr(39)||'sec'||chr(39)||' ';

SQL> select * from tablea;

FIELDA

james'ste Camp 'first,'sec'

1 row selected.
