RE: Using replace on columns containing *
Part of the problem is that you have a ' ' in between your REPLACE and your (). The REPLACE function needs to have that space removed. SELECT REPLACE(deviceID,'*','.*') FROM MY_TABLE; Try that and see if it helps.

RE: Using replace on columns containing *
Hi J.R. Thanks for your response, but this did not help. If I try the same syntax on other values (not '*') I have no problem... -Original Message- From: J.R.

RE: Using replace on columns containing *
Hi all I found the problem: It was not related to the '*' what-so-ever, but to the way I started my console client. If I load it with --default-character-set=utf8 - the problem is solved (as my table is set to have utf8 charset).
