Guys, i have a table that one of the columns (Email To) is
a concatenated list of email addresses separated by semi colons ";".
i.e.:
rrb7@.yahoo.com;richard.butcher@.sthou.com;administr ator@.sthou.com
etc like that.
each row varies with one exception. administrator@.sthou.com is in each one.
is there a simple way thru sql or T-SQL to delete that "administrator@.sthou.com" part? or should i call each row individually into say, a VB.net form using a split with the deliminator ";"
and then looping thru and updating each row?
thanks again for any easy answer
rikYou should be able to use the Replace function to delete that with an update query. It's available in both Access and T_SQL.|||Jelly Link update the post : It should be UPDATE, not DELETE
UPDATE <table_name>
set EmailTo = replace(EmailTo, 'administrator@.sthou.com;','')
where EmailTo like 'administrator@.sthou.com;%'
UPDATE <table_name>
set EmailTo = replace(EmailTo, ';administrator@.sthou.com;',';')
where EmailTo like '%;administrator@.sthou.com;%'
UPDATE <table_name>
set EmailTo = replace(EmailTo, ';administrator@.sthou.com','')
where EmailTo like '%;administrator@.sthou.com'|||delete <table_name>
delete?? And I'd think the where clause unnecessary, since the OP states that's in every record.|||ups sorry.....its UPDATE :p update...set......where.........
ehm...i use the where clause to remove the separator ";" and the email address when administrator@.sthou.com is at the beginning, in the middle, or even at the end of the list, but not emails which contain administrator@.sthou.com (eg : blablaadministrator@.sthou.com)|||delete??

Delete instead of update!!!!!!!!!.Stick this post and dont allow the poster to edit again in this post.hehehehe.lets every one see.I can see the panic in jelly link's face that time ,lol|||sorry.....hav so many things in my head :p|||it works great - i truly appreciate the help on this.
