  Hi....

  Sorry for the very obvious question, but is there a simple way to find and replace text within a varchar column?

  I am referring to a script within this column that has changed from classic asp to .net and just need to change the file extension referred to

  very simple:

  update some_table set somecolumn=replace(somecolumn,'.txt','.csv')
