I found a CSV database of Cities/ZIP/GPS, and when I imported it, it added a ‘ infront of the columns. alt text http://www.grabup.com/uploads/58754a865eebd94c9aafaf7444b52d15.png?direct
I don’t want to go in for 33,000 entries and do this manually, is there a query I can run that will remove the quotes?
i’m not a MySql expert but this should work: (based on my similar experience in Sql Server)
UPDATE table_name SET col_name = REPLACE(col_name, ”’, ”)
For more info on the REPLACE and other string parsing functions, see here: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/string-functions.html#function_replace
