Like the replace function, but can replace more than 1
value at a time.
e.g. select dbo.multiple_replace('hello', 'e', '1', default) gives 'h1llo'. Equivalent to: select replace('hello', 'e', '1')
e.g. select dbo.multiple_replace('hello world', 'e;w;ld', '1;2;END', default) gives 'h1llo 2orEND'
e.g. select dbo.multiple_replace('hello world', 'e$w$ld', '1$2$END', '$') gives 'h1llo 2orEND'

This article by Brian Kelley will give you the core knowledge to data model.
