Hi,

An example to remove the spaces using the translate function is as follows.

create table test (name varchar2(15));

insert into test values (' abc cdf ');

select * from test;
NAME

---

 abc cdf

update test set name =
translate
(name,'0123456789ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ ','0123456789ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ') select * from test;

NAME

---

abccdf

Hope this example illustrates the usage of translate.

Regards,
Raghu
