Could you perhaps show the error message, if any. If OS interfering?
Which tool are you using (sqlplus, sqldeveloper, sqlcl, toad, etc.)?
Have you tried the quote operator? (update customers set ein =
replace(ein,q'[']');)

Anyway, I have a column that wound up getting populated with a leading
' (single quote)
update customers set ein = replace(ein,''''); and update customers set
ein = replace(ein,chr(39)); does not work. Well, the message says
updated but when I query the table, it's still there. There is
something simple that I'm missing and for the life of me, I can't
figure it out.
The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over
expecting different results. By that definition; I've been insane for
the past two hours.
