How about this ...

update schedule s
join directory d on s.email = replace(d.email, '@wnc.edu', '@wncc.edu')
set s.email=replace(s.email, '@wncc.edu', '@wnc.edu' );

I'm trying to do a join on two pieces of data that are not quite exactly the same. Basic story, I have 2 tables (output from 2 mainframes) in MySQL where one table has our email addresses as @wncc.edu (our old name) and the other has it as @wnc.edu (our new name). So here is an abbreviated version of the query that is trying to match them, and it doesn't work. Any suggestions?

SELECT * FROM schedule
LEFT JOIN directory ON
( REPLACE('@wncc.edu','@wnc.edu',schedule.email) = directory.email )
