How do you replace characters as in an update?
Example I have an address field that contains '.' and '-' and I need to remove these characters.
Anyone know of an update script to do so?

Looks pretty straightforward
update [tablename] set [fieldname] = replace([fieldname],'.','')Probably want to verify those results with a select before you run the update though.
