Hi,
An example to remove the spaces using the translate function is as follows.
create table test (name varchar2(15));
insert into test values (' abc cdf ');
select * from test;
NAME
---------------
abc cdf
update test set name =
translate
(name,'0123456789ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ
','0123456789ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ')
select * from test;
NAME
---------------
abccdf
Hope this example illustrates the usage of translate.
Regards,
Raghu
