| Is there no way to set the results of a select statement globally to exclude certain characters, or to be strictly of a specific character set?In other words, if I want to say 'okay, no more ampersands(&) in results' and I have a bunch of code, do I have to go to every column and do a 'replace' function? |

| Yeah, you get the data "as it is" from the database ...If you want to ESCAPE it, or somesuch, then you need to apply that column-by-column - but it would be better to do that (and any other "formatting and filtering") in the Application |
