[sql-server-2008] How eliminate the tab space in the column in SQL Server 2008

I have an column with email in table customer where the data in the column contains special character: TAB

When I do a select, I need to remove the TAB space from that column.

Means there is an empty TAB space followed by the EmailID: xyz.com

I tried using the LTRIM and RTRIM but that does not work here.

This question is related to sql-server-2008

The answer is


Try this code

SELECT REPLACE([Column], char(9), '') From [dbo.Table] 

char(9) is the TAB character


See it might be worked -------

UPDATE table_name SET column_name=replace(column_name, ' ', '') //Remove white space

UPDATE table_name SET column_name=replace(column_name, '\n', '') //Remove newline

UPDATE table_name SET column_name=replace(column_name, '\t', '') //Remove all tab

Thanks Subroto


UPDATE Table SET Column = REPLACE(Column, char(9), '')

Use the Below Code for that

UPDATE Table1 SET Column1 = LTRIM(RTRIM(REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(Column1, CHAR(9), ''), CHAR(10), ''), CHAR(13), '')))`
