Thread: Possible To Modify Part of String in Certain Rows?

Is there any reasonable PGSQL query that could do something like this:

Find all the releases from the releases table. For each release, do what is
basically a find and replace on a column? Each column contains slightly
different data and so the find and replace is not a constant. There needs to
be some 'variable' in there.

Am I making any sense?

Thanks,
Hunter

Hello,

You could do it with a function in plPHP, plPython or plTCL fairly easily.
