I have a table named tbl.Products, which has a column named articlenumber and is full of numbers like s401, s402, etc.

I generated a list with new article numbers which will replace the old ones:

s401  I00010  
s402  I00020  
s403  I00030  
s403  I00040  
...

I have a query from which I hoped that it would work out, but somehow it does nothing.

(of course I have nested the other values into the query)

SELECT REPLACE('articlenumber','s401','I00010') FROM tbl.Products

How do I get a query which replaces old values with new ones in a column like this?

    You are just selecting the newly replaced values and not doing anything with them… thats a very good idea when using replace, always select first to double check that you will get the expected result 🙂

    The update code – 

    Update  tbl.Products
Set articlenumber = replace(articlenumber, 's401', 'I00010')
