Replacing every £ with &pound?

Hi,

I'd like to replace every instance of £ with £ in a text field
in my database. The field contains text and £ will be one character
amongst many. Is this possible?

Try REPLACE():

( I hope I don't need to say, that backup your valuable data, before
trying anything that affects whole table. )

This should be a rather ROUTINE procedure for you DBAs. I keep hearing at technical conferences and user groups the phrase "then rebind all your plans and packages" (after reorg, load, & runstats, etc). Obviously those plans and packages that need rebinding are only those packages & plans relevant to the tablespace just processed. How do I find out? (I'm on DB2 v7, MVS) I've read five (5) 6-pound books on DB2 (cover-to-cover)...

Hi, For some reason str_ireplace and str_replace do not remove the euro symbol. This is the code snip it: $mremoveArray=array("€","£"); $tString=”15,00€”; $pa=str_ireplace($mremoveArray,'',$tString); The pound sign is removed but not the euro.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
