Search and replace within a field with regex in MySQL

 / Published in: MySQL
 

After a problem with row break in a text field I found this way of searching within a where clause in an SQL query. Can be used for selection or update / replace purposes of course.

Expand | Embed | Plain Text 
  1. SELECT * FROM 'table' WHERE `name` REGEXP '\r'
  2.  
  3. UPDATE 'table' SET 'field' = REPLACE(FIELD,"findvalue", "reaplcevalue") WHERE REGEXP 'regexp search expression'
