| Hi all,I want to replace a word in a text column with another word. However that word can be found in text as being part of other strings, like "xxxxxwordxxxx".My problem is I just want to replace the standalone word.For that I tried to replace all the other strings which include 'word' for them not to be replaced in the main replacement:sql> UPDATE versao SET texto=REPLACE(text,'word','*#*') WHERE texto LIKE '%_word_%';But this command replaces every words that have a match with 'word' include the word I want to replace.How can I make MySQL interpret 'word' different from 'xxxwordxxx'?Thanks in advance |
