How can I escape a double quote inside double quotes?

Question

How can I escape double quotes inside a double string in Bash?

For example, in my shell script

#!/bin/bash  dbload="load data local infile \"'gfpoint.csv'\" into table $dbtable FIELDS TERMINATED BY ',' ENCLOSED BY '\"' LINES TERMINATED BY \"'\n'\" IGNORE 1 LINES" 

I can't get the ENCLOSED BY '\"' with double quote to escape correctly. I can't use single quotes for my variable, because I want to use variable $dbtable.

Use a backslash:

echo "\""     # Prints one " character.
