Question

For example:
In my table I have text field with following text:

The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog.

How can I find brown fox and delete it, so that new field value is:

The quick jumped over the lazy dog.

Is this possible to do with MySQL?

Answer 1

update `table`
    set `field` = replace(`field`, 'brown fox ', '')
    where `field` = 'The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog.';

EDIT: As @Cranio pointed out, we need to remove spacing on either side of ‘brown fox’ in order to get the anticipated result.
