Re: How to FIX ODD CHARACTERS in a DB table??

[Holger L]

Not sure if I'm missing any special characters...

update <table_name>
set <field> = replace(<field>,'’','\'');
update <table_name>
set <field>= replace(<field>,'…','...');
update <table_name>
set <field>= replace(<field>,'–','-');
update <table_name>
set <field>= replace(<field>,'“','"');
update <table_name>
set <field>= replace(<field>,'”','"');
update <table_name>
set <field>= replace(<field>,'‘','\'');
update <table_name>
set <field>= replace(<field>,'•','-');
update <table_name>
set <field>= replace(<field>,'‡','c');
