I used:
update media_instance set location=replace(location,'v.','')
where location like '%/0/v.%'
and that did work-
thank you very much.
it seems to me that the replace function is the same as translate()- no?

Hello-
I'm using postgres 7.4
I have a column of data with the wrong prefix for many items.
The wrong entries are entered ' /0/v.myimage.jpg'
While the correct ones are ' /0/myimage.jpg'
I need to remove all the 'v.' characters from this column.
I'm able to do a
SELECT * FROM myTable
WHERE location = '%/0/v.%'
I'm just confused about how I should write code to update the selected
items to remove the 'v.'
Would I use substring? An example would be much appreciated.
thank you
Dawn
How about update myTable set location=replace(location,'v.','');
