Removing Spaces in varchar data

    I have a column which has varchar data . This column data (close to 1000rows) has spaces in between . Eg : George Bush . I need to select this as GeorgeBush by removing the space here. How do I achieve this.

    Or How can I select George and Bush separately from this string and then concatenate to 'GeorgeBush' like this.

    Thanks

    why can't you just replace all spaces in the string?

    update yourtable set yourcolumn = replace(yourcolumn,' ','')
