| Hi, Needs helps.I have a name filed in my table in sql. My name field combines first name middle name(initial) and last name. I need to combine the name into one string. Example if the name is John K Smith - I need to be JohnKSmith. I try to use replace function which I thought could be best, but is not working- may be I'm missing something. Please, I need your help!Hiza |
