The REPLACE() function replaces all matching parts of a string with a specified new substring.

Syntax

REPLACE("string_expression", "old_substring", "new_substring");

The REPLACE() function searches for all occurrences of the old_substring in the string_expression and replaces it with new_substring.

Note: All parameters are required.

Example

In this example, “cool” is replaced with “amazing”:

SELECT REPLACE("SQL is cool", "cool", "amazing");

The above query will give the following output:

SQL is amazing
