Question

Field value:03/2008
I want to split it from “/” and want to update year’s value i.e. 2012 instead of 2008. I want to update the value in same column i.e. 03/2012 instead of 03/2008. In update query, I am not getting should i have to use substr and then how to replace the new value in same string?

Thanks

If you only want to change field = 03/2008

UPDATE  table
SET   field = '03/2012'
where field = '03/2008'

bsm the replace you have in your answer is going to be slower
