I believe you could do it by TRANSLATE-ing the chars you want to something
funky (i.e. double-quotes as you have it, or simply a blank) and then
wrapping that with REPLACE (one you have should suffice). For example:

SELECT replace(translate(field,'""','%&'),'"', '') FROM file

There's probably other ways to do it... but that's one that comes to mind
right now.

Subject: REPLACE function in SQL

I am using the REPLACE function on my SELECT statement as follows to
remove the quotes embedded in a string:
SELECT replace(field,'"', '') FROM file
This work great. But, I have other chars I want to replace in the same
field at the same time and can't quite get me head around how to do it. I
guess I want to do multiple REPLACEs. Any suggestions?
Thanks.
