Hi
I have a large database with text strings.
What is the quickest way to replace each ['] with a ['] throughout
the database fields while leaving everything else intact?
ex
.... I'm a monkey ...
becomes
.... I'm a monkey ...
etc
Thanks!

Maybe you also want to look at this place: http://www.djwice.com/hulpjes/SpecialCharacters.html
For other characters you want to replace

Sorry, can't help you with the MySQL thing, I also don't know what the
fastest way is to replace all.
Ciao,

I'd try this:
UPDATE myTable SET
textField1 = REPLACE(textFie ld1, '\'', '''),
textField2 = REPLACE(textFie ld2, '\'', '''),
textField3 = REPLACE(textFie ld3, '\'', ''');
You probably have to repeat this for every table that contains text fields.
See http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/String_functions.html for more
info on REPLACE() and many other string functions built into MySQL.
MySQL has a pretty good set of builtin functions, and familiarizing
yourself with them is a worthwhile thing to do if you use MySQL regularly.

replace into fruit_database set fruit = 'apple' , quantity = quantity +
5;
(visitor buys 7 apples):

Last year I got a chance to work with R&D team, which was working on DB scripts conversion..

That time, we face some interesting challenges.. I failed to document all of them, but whatever I can share with u.. I will try.. :)
