hi
What is the sql required to remove a substring from within a column on the database please?
I have to get it right because I cannot affect the rest of the data in each column.
thanks
michael

Typically one would use STUFF or REPLACE functions for the removal along with CHARINDEX or PATINDEX functions to identify the characters that need to be removed. There are examples on the links on this page
