 Comma or apostrophe (single quote) in field causing lexical error

A few of the Vendors and Customers I am attempting to insert into QB have either a comma or a single quote in the name and is apparently causing a lexical error to be generated when attempting to insert through QODBC.  For example: Fred's Rock Shop       My Corporation, Inc.

Is there a way to overcome this or am I going to be required to strip them out?

Thanks for any help. 

 
Regards.

See: How do I use single quotes within a quoted string?

Thank you.

After posting I did discover the topic on working around the single quote issue.

Is there a similar, or other work around for the comma issue?
 

 
Regards.

There is no comma issue, this inserted without any problems:

INSERT INTO "customer" ("Name","LastName","FirstName","BillAddressAddr1",
"BillAddressAddr2","BillAddressCity","BillAddressState","BillAddressPostalcode")
values ('O''Con,ner, Shane','O''Con,ner','Shane','Shane O''Conner','561 W 4th St.',
'Carlsbad','CA','92009')
