For a single field, you can use something like this to achieve your
objective (this will delete all " characters in the field):
update cadastro.cliente set clie_nmcliente = regexp_replace(clie_nmcliente, '"', '', 'g') where clie_nmcliente like
'%"%'; -- delete all ": not tested!
You could replace the '' with some other string to replace all " with
that string.
It may be quicker to edit an ASCII dump of the database and reload it if
you want to do the same replacement in multiple fields in multiple
tables.
