I have table called sc_fam_data which has a field called template_vars, this field will contain name value pairs as such
name1=val1;name2=val2...etc..

I have a table called sc_widget_images which has a field called img and in it the values might be <%name1%>

What would be the best way to scan through the sc_widget_images table and replace the template variables such as <%name1%> in the img field with the right name/value pair in the field template vars in the sc_fam_data table.

I'm currently using a cursor but I know there is probably an easier solution using a string parsing function within an update statement which uses two tables.
