hi there,

i have a table that has

'number'

ect...

so, im wondering how can i write a query that will remove all spaces?

something like

is there anything that will do this?

UPDATE table SET number = REPLACE(number, ' ', '')

Close. I believe you could write something like this:

update `table` set number = REPLACE( number, ' ', '');
