Supress ' quotes in a select statement inside Shell Script

Hi
I have a shell script in which a string variable is saving following query.
SqlQuery="select a||'|'||b||'|'||c from dual"

I am trying to pass above query as a parameter to some script but its giving me error for "single quote". I tried suppressing it using \' instead of just ' but it saves \' as it into SqlQuery variable.

Can someone help me in supressing the ' quote presence in Korn Shell and avoid above error.

forgive me, i don't know the answer, but what i think you meant to ask is "How to escape a single quote in ksh"

i was a little confused when i read your post the first time, i hope it helps clear it up for anyone else that might be able to help
