Question

My database contains many + signs and i want to replace it with white-space….
What should be the query for that ?

Answer 1

update tbl set column = replace(column, '+', ' ')

This updates all ‘+’s in the column named “column” in the table named “tbl” to a single white space, one for each “+”

If you only need to select for display, then same function, e.g.

select replace(column, '+', ' ') column, other1, col3
from tbl
