Hello everyone,

I need to replace all occurrences of a certain character in a string.
For that I'm using regexp_replace, but so far I only managed to
replace the first character, here's an example:

> SELECT regexp_replace('xaxx', 'x', 'e');
 regexp_replace
----------------
 eaxx
(1 row)

But the result I'd need is 'eaee'. How can I do it?


Hi,
try this one:

SELECT regexp_replace('xaxx', 'x', 'e', 'g');

regards
Szymon Guz
