My guess is that this is a bad attempt at SQL injection (a kind of hack).

All queries are executed as stored procedures with AC7, correct?

And bad is right...you think they'd at least try something that makes sense unless it is a spider of some kind

No. AC7 doesn't use sprocs.

I had something similar on a site with the MSN spider. It wasn't apostrophe's but it was creating garbage URLs. I got the abuse email address from Whois for the ip address and sent an email and they stopped the spider. I was surprised to even get a reply.

Is there a reason why? I would think that is SQL injection protection 101
