Not very elegant but it works
create table test (a varchar2(30));
SQL> insert into test values
2 ('comma'||chr(44)||'squote'||chr(34)||'dquote'||chr(39))
3 /
1 row created.
SQL> select * from test;
A
--------------------
comma,squote"dquote'
select replace(replace(replace(a,chr(44),''),chr(34),''),chr(39),'') "New
String" from test
New String
--------------------
commasquotedquote
