Not very elegant but it works

create table test (a varchar2(30));
SQL> insert into test values
2 ('comma'||chr(44)||'squote'||chr(34)||'dquote'||chr(39)) 3 /

1 row created.

SQL> select * from test;

comma,squote"dquote'

select replace(replace(replace(a,chr(44),''),chr(34),''),chr(39),'') "New String" from test

New String

commasquotedquote
