Hi,
how can I remove a set of characters in text-columns ?
Say I'd like to remove { } ( ) ' " , ; . : !
Of course I can chain replace ( replace ( replace ( replace ( ... , '' )
and replace the chars one by one against an empty string ''.
There might be a more elegant way.
Is there ?

besides the regexp_replace() solution mentioned by Charlie
and Steve, you can also use TRANSLATE():
| tim=# SELECT TRANSLATE('a{b''c"d!f', '{}()''",;.:!', '');
nice, 2 solutions for 1 problem. :)
my replace...replace... was a wee bit tedious ;)
