How to assign values to a string data type in MySQL?

In MySQL, you can use either single or double quotes to assign string values. For example, to assign a string to a field named “name”, you can execute the following statement:

INSERT INTO table_name (name) VALUES ('John');

either

INSERT INTO table_name (name) VALUES ("John");

Please note that single quotes and double quotes are equivalent in MySQL, so you can choose whichever you prefer. When assigning a string value, make sure the content is enclosed in quotes so that MySQL can correctly identify it.
