You are going to have to escape quotes, so your string should look like this: The Hitchhiker\'s Guide to the Galaxy See this page: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/string-syntax.html Whenever I run into this situation, I use the Ostermiller Excel CSV parser: http://ostermiller.org/utils/ExcelCSV.html with a custom class I wrote to escape strings using the MySQL format. I don't know if there is an off the shelf tool to do what you want. Maybe someone has one.
