Is there a way where we can find what value is stored in the cell of a SQL Server table and update the values?
I have a temp table created inside a Table Valued Function where there are more than 150 columns in it. I need to check each column in each row to find if the value is ‘unspecified’ and if yes then update that value with a null.
I have not come across such a logic but it will be interesting to find one. If you happen to know let me know.

Thanks for the reply. However I want similar logic that needs to be done on a temp table which is part of a Table Valued function. This table is already referred using @. So it is kind of hard to implement the logic provided in the link with a temp table.

Tables have cells now?

Can we see the code for the TVF? That would seem to be the place to get rid of "unspecified".
