update a field

  • HI

    I have a field called JobRole where in i found few records misspelled like DBA, Adminitrator, NIIT

    the right way is DBA ADministrator NIIT

    I need to find out records like this and get rid of comma's in between.

    thanks

  • I think this shud work

    Update authors

    Setcity = replace(city, 'Salt', 'Olympic')

  • It tough to exactly give you the right code, but you could do something like this:

    Code to view the results in question:

    SELECT MyColumn = REPLACE(MyColumn,',','')

    FROM MyTable

    WHERE CHARINDEX(',',MyColumn) > 0

    The code to resolve the issue:

    UPDATE MyTable

    SET MyColumn = REPLACE(MyColumn,',','')

    WHERE CHARINDEX(',',MyColumn) > 0

    You should be aware that the above code will replace all commas in the string with a blank space. You should run the code as a select first to make sure that it is producing the correct results.
