I have a row, which have column url
with the following value:
http://example.com/a~~1234567890-=!@#$%^&*()_+[\"test\"]
When I execute the following query:
SELECT * FROM `mytable` WHERE `url` = 'http://example.com/a~~1234567890-=!@#$%^&*()_+[\"test\"]'
MySQL says that record is not exists.
You need to escape the \ in your two \" since \" is an escape sequence: only the quote " will remain in the executed query.
\" [is an escape sequence turned into a] double quote (“"”) character
\\ [is an escape sequence turned into a] backslash (“\”) character

So
SELECT * FROM `mytable` WHERE `url` = 'http://example.com/a~~1234567890-=!@#$%^&*()_+[\\"test\\"]'
