Me needs to change the format of some telephone numbers which are
placed in a mysql database.
Current format: 49xyz
Wanted format:0xyz
Now i know how to remove the leading 49:
UPDATE table SET field=(TRIM(LEADING '49' FROM field));
But how can i replace the 49 with a 0?
Or maybe in 2 steps, first remove 49, then add 0?
You can do it one step, using the CONCAT function:
UPDATE table SET field=CONCAT(0,TRIM(LEADING '49' FROM field));
