Hi.
I think you do not need the % characters in the REPLACE patterns. You
could use something like:
UPDATE items SET barcode = REPLACE(barcode, '--', '-') WHERE barcode LIKE
'%--%';
assuming you want to change all barcodes with "--".
Hope this helps.

Hi Team,
I need to edit barcodes to replace a double hyphen (--) with a single
hyphen (-). The barcodes are many and will take long using the item editor
which allows me to edit one after the other.
Is there a SQL command I could use to edit from the terminal? I tried
running the query below. It is matching the records but changing none. Is
there something I am missing?
MariaDB[koha_library]>
UPDATE items SET barcode = REPLACE(barcode, '%--%', '%-%') WHERE itemnumber
IN (377,378,391,.....);
I am using koha version 19.11 on Ubuntu 16.04 and mysql Ver 15.1 Distrib
10.0.38-MariaDB
Please assist
Warm Regards
James
