what sql statement would I use to remove period "." for data?

I have a column called "dcode" that contains decimal data type (112.24)
in a table called "dags" I want to remove the "." from the data.

what is the datatype of the column?
why do you want to remove it?

Select replace(col,'.','') from table

They stored a 6 character piece of data in the TEXT datatype which can handle 2 BILLION characters? Are you serious? What datatype is it really?

even worse, it apparently holds numbers!



Poor planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on my part.
