| Let's say I am interested in updating the company_name column within our company table.Everywhere someone entered 'ABC Ins. Co.', I want to replace 'Ins. Co.' with 'Insurance Company'.....I am not too familiar with updating part of a record. I do not know if substring will work with this since each company has a different name.Any help would be much appreciated.Thanksqman |
