SELECT
REGEXP_REPLACE(STREET_ADDRESS,'St','Street')"REGEXP_PLACE"
FROM LOCATIONS;

using the above I am getting if the street_address already has the word Street in it it makes it Streeteet - so it grabs the St from the beginning and replaces it with Street - I want to ONLY replace if it is JUST St not mess with Street. Anyway I can modify above to handle this??
thanks

Are you using MS SQL Server or Oracle ?

SELECT
REGEXP_REPLACE(STREET_ADDRESS,'St ','Street ')"REGEXP_PLACE"
FROM LOCATIONS;
