Re: Using SQL to replace a quote in a character string

I need to replace double quotes (") and commas (,) in strings with a
space
I know I can use replace
Select REPLACE(a.bfname, ',', ' ') as New_Bfname from file a
Select REPLACE(a.bfname, '"', ' ') as New_Bfname from file a

My predicament is to replace quotes (') in strings with a space
Any idea how that can be achieved?
AND
Is there a way to incorporate ALL the changes in one go


A regular expression would be cleaner, but you can do the
following:

Select REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(a.bfname, ',', ' '), '"', ' '), '''', ' ')
as New_Bfname from file a
