Include quote in query

I am using dynamic query in my code.

 

My code:

queryString += '( Type__c <= '+mySearch +')';

My error:


System.QueryException: value of filter criterion for field 'Type__c' must be of type string and should be enclosed in quotes

 

How to include quote in above code?

JamesSSJamesSS

String queryString = 'SELECT Id FROM Account WHERE';

if(mySearch != null)
queryString += '( Type__c = '+mySearch +')';

List<Account> AccountList = new List<Account>();
AccountList = Database.query(queryString);
system.debug(Logginglevel.ERROR,'*******AccountList*********'+AccountList);

My querystring output in log:
SELECT Id FROM Account WHERE Type__c = 2013

My expected output:
SELECT Id FROM Account WHERE Type__c = '2013'

Don't forget to use String.escapeSingleQuotes on mySearch to avoid SOQL injection.
