From Google Translate
Is it possible to update values based on wildcards? For example, I have many days in the database formatted with different criteria and I want them all to be MM / DD / YYYY. To make things a little different, the value inside this field can represent anything, not just a day. I want to only update the values kept on the wrong format.
So I made a query:
choose the distinct IndexFieldText from dbo.DocumentField in which IndexFieldText like '% / _ /%'
This will only bring the date values to a single digit.I can update these values by using the update query with a wildcard, such as:
update dbo.tablename set IndexFieldText = '% / 0 _ /%' where IndexFieldText is like '% / _ /%'
No, you cannot use the wildcards in the update.

If that Google translate is to be relied on, your statement about changing the format of your dates is a little confusing. You don't store the format of a date in SQL Server, they are stored as a binary values; your presentation layer then does the formatting. You can't change the format of a date in the data.

Excuse my typos and sometimes awful grammar. My fingers work faster than my brain does.

Based on this statement, I take it to be an EAV table, where the Attribute Value is stored as a varchar.
