I've been handed a mySQL database with weird stuff in some text fields:

Õ instead of ' - for example
or things like  ÒSet For LifeÓ for left and right quotes

I'd like to run a query and remove all these using rereplace, but a test 
query like the below is returning an error

<cfloop query="myQUERY">
    <cfquery>
      UPDATE myDATE SET
      textfield = REReplace(#textfield#,"Õ","'")
      Where ID = #ID#
   </cfquery>
</cfloop>


There's a massive amount of data, and I'm a little nervous running 
something that's going to make so many changes...
