Use of the quote / apostrophe in text fields

Many of our data fields require use of a quote embedded within the text
field, most particularly for proper names (eg 'A'MHOINE PSAMMITE', just to
give you a taste of Scottish geological terminology!)
 
This can prove troublesome where autogenerated update scripts are used, in
which the value of the field is retrieved back into a quote-delimited
string.
 
Is anyone aware of a means of redefining the field delimiter from a quote to
some other arbitrary character in SQL?
 
thanks,
