Hi
I have a character field, varchar(60), and I want to replace only a part
of it, a set substring which is always in the same set positions.
Does anyone have an Sql statement or algorithm/sp that could do that
with one call or run ?
Thanks
David

here is an example of SUBSTRING/REPLACE
CREATE TABLE #temp(stringRep VARCHAR(60))
INSERT INTO #temp(stringRep ) VALUES('hazyCow ')
INSERT INTO #temp(stringRep ) VALUES('lazyCow ')
DECLARE @startPos INT
SET @startPos = 2
UPDATE #temp SET stringRep = REPLACE(stringR ep,SUBSTRING(st ringRep, 2,
3),'zz')
SELECT * FROM #temp
DROP TABLE #temp

Hi David,
Look up the STUFF function in Books Online - this will do exactly what
you want.

Hi Newsgroup,
I have given an answer in this newsgroup about a "Replace".
There came an answer on that I did not understand, so I have done some
tests.
I got the idea that someone said, that the split method and the
regex.replace method was better than the string.replace method and replace
function. I did not believe that.

I need a program that simulates the search-and-replace operation in a text editor. The program is to have only three function calls in main. The first function prompts the user to type a string of fewer than 80 characters. It then prompts the user to type the search-substring of 10 or fewer characters. Finally, it prompts the user to type the replace-substring of 10 or fewer characters.
The second function call is the search-and-replace...

Here is my replace query and I need to run this on every column in my
table. Right now I manually enter the column name (_LANGUAGES_SPOKEN)
but this is time consuming and would like to automate this process as
much as possible.

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:
g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp
Here is the code in...
