Re: SQL Insert - Removing Blanks Between Pipes

Hi Robert

I imagine if he uses the strip(field) or trim(field) function, it'll end up being an empty string - no problem with that.

I don't know the exact syntax by memory, gotta check the manuals.

Greetings from sunny Florida.

A staff programmer is writing to a pipe-delimited file using an SQL
Insert. He wants to remove blanks from a blank field should one occur:

Instead of | field of blanks |

he wants || .

How could this be done?
