[rsyslog] Double quotes Problem

Does anyone know of a quick and easy template to remove the double quote
character from a %msg% before it is inserted into the database (MySQL in
my case).  I have a %msg% that looks like this:

user pid=21214 uid=0 auid=4294967295 msg='PAM setcred: user="oracle"
exe="/bin/su" (hostname=?, addr=?, terminal=? result=Success)'

I am reading the %msg% from the MySQL database and returning it in JSON
formatting.  When it encounters a double-quote character, it causes
issues.  I can always fix the program that returns it in JSON, but I
think rsyslog can pre-fix the %msg%.
