RE: REPLACE function in SQL

["Elvis Budimlic" <ebudimlic@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I believe you could do it by TRANSLATE-ing the chars you want to something
funky (i.e. double-quotes as you have it, or simply a blank) and then
wrapping that with REPLACE (one you have should suffice). For example:

SELECT   replace(translate(field,'""','%&'),'"', '') FROM   file

There's probably other ways to do it... but that's one that comes to mind
right now.

Subject: REPLACE function in SQL

I am using the REPLACE function on my SELECT statement as follows to 
remove the quotes embedded in a string:
SELECT   replace(field,'"', '') FROM   file 
This work great.  But, I have other chars I want to replace in the same 
field at the same time and can't quite get me head around how to do it.  I 
guess I want to do multiple REPLACEs. Any suggestions?
Thanks.
