Hi there,
I think I need to explain a bit further.
I tried simply using
update people
replace(address, 'mailto:','');
but unfortunately that produced a duplicate key error as some of the
addresses prefixed with 'mailto:' are already present (unprefixed) in
the table.
So what I need to do is

somewhere else is more appropriate.
I need to locate all the entries in a table that match , but only after
a number of characters have been ignored. I have a table of email
addresses, and someone else has erroneously

select replace(address, 'mailto:', '') from people
... and if you only want to find the ones that start with mailto:;
select replace(address, 'mailto:', '') from people
where address like 'mailto:%'

Or something like
select ltrim(substr(address, 8)) from people
where address like 'mailto:%'
union
select address from people
where address not like 'mailto:%'

Or
1) select ltrim(substr(address, 8)) from people
where address like 'mailto:%'
gives all addresses that start with mailto:; but first strips off the
prefix leaving only the email address
2) select address from people where address not like 'mailto:%'
produces all email address that don't need
