Hi Folks,
I have a list of surnames in a string and I need to replace say O'Con or O'S with O Con or O S.
I've tried to this and I'm struggling so any help welcome.
All the best,
Sean
Have you tried TRANSLATE function?
surname_no_apostrophe = translate(surname, " ", "'");
Last parameter is single quote/apostrophe, wrapped in double quotes.
