I'm using Version 4.0.2.15 with Build 15.21
For me I needed this:
UPDATE table_name SET column_name = REPLACE(column_name,"search str","replace str");
Putting t.column_name
in the first argument of replace
did not work.
If you need to update the value in a particular table:
UPDATE TABLE-NAME SET COLUMN-NAME = REPLACE(TABLE-NAME.COLUMN-NAME, 'STRING-TO-REPLACE', 'REPLACEMENT-STRING');
where
TABLE-NAME - The name of the table being updated
COLUMN-NAME - The name of the column being updated
STRING-TO-REPLACE - The value to replace
REPLACEMENT-STRING - The replacement
In Oracle, there is the concept of schema name, so try using this
update schemname.tablename t
set t.columnname = replace(t.columnname, t.oldvalue, t.newvalue);
