Single Quotations within a string in shell script

I have a requirement to embed single quotes in a string. How can I achieve via shell scripting?

Sample Input: --connect jdbc:sqlserver://XXXX:12;DatabaseName=S

Output: --connect 'jdbc:sqlserver://XXXX:12;DatabaseName=S'

The format of this will always remain same.

You can use the following : 

echo "--connect jdbc:sqlserver://XXXX:12;DatabaseName=S" | sed "s| jdbc| 'jdbc|g;s|$|'|g"
