Anyone have any idea why this code will not strip out the spaces in the string "N0P 2L0"?
select Replace(postal_code,' ', '') from location where id = 1009637 when I change the last argument to 'X' it throws two X's in like it should. We are running ms sql 2k in 6.5 compatibility mode, so I dont know if that is the reason why it wont trim the spaces out. If this is why, does anyone have a workaround that would work inside a join clause like oin zipinfo z on Replace(z.zip,' ','') = Replace(l.postal_code,' ','') when running in compatibility mode?
