SQL Server: How do you remove punctuation from a field?

Question

Any one know a good way to remove punctuation from a field in SQL Server?

I\'m thinking

UPDATE tblMyTable SET FieldName = REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(FieldNa         


        

Answer 1

I'd wrap it in a simple scalar UDF so all string cleaning is in one place if it's needed again.

Then you can use it on INSERT too...
