Hi,
Here is a quick and easy one I have a questions about:

I have a table (customers) that has a field (firstname) with the
following data.

firstname
--------------------
Mike H
Josh
Jim B
Katie I
Jeff
Suzy
John R


Can someone provide the syntax for a SQL UPDATE statement that will
remove middle initial in the above column and leave the first name intact?

Please let me know.

Thanks,
Josh
