Hi

im trying to execute an update command on a postgresql DB table using
pgAdmin II

im using the following statement

UPDATE commandlist SET command = REPLACE (command,'A','B')


commandlist is the table name
command is the column
and i want to change the value A to B


but it's giving me the following error message


an error has occured in pgAdmin II:frmSQLInput.cmdExecute_Click:
