Travis writes "I'm trying to permanently replace a certain word in all records of a table (SQL SERV 2000). I can of course use the REPLACE syntax; however, this only modifies the output. I think I also could change entire strings, but not text within a string. For example, I need to replace all instances of "http://edmssappt1" with "http://edmssappp1" that may be in a 16,000 character string.

The workaround I've used so far is export the table to Access and use the find/replace function. Doing this, however, is slow and makes me very uneasy.

Any help?"
