In Archivists' Toolkit before migrating to ASpace, we manually added commas to 
the end of each description element, so that there would be commas between the 
description and date elements in our XSL style sheet. When we migrated to 
ASpace all of the commas are duplicated in display, because ASpace 
automatically inserts a comma (so nice!).

To have cleaner data going forward I would like to remove that comma and just 
add something to the style sheet to insert the comma at the end of each 
description element (which is what we likely should have been doing all along 
anyway). I have never run a script on a dataset, but I imagine that it should 
be fairly uncomplicated to remove the last character from a particular table 
using some sort of a script. We are running 2.3.2 on a Windows Server using a 
MySQL database.

Does anyone have any experience doing such a thing and could perhaps provide 
some guidance?

Thank you,
