If data is cat or dog from animal column, then output for that column is Mammal.

Can I do that?

Animal
Mammal

Not update.
What I meant is:

Select animal from tableA
where animal in ('dog','cat')

Animal Owner
dog Marry
cat Jane
snake Brian

What I want is to be like this:

Animal Owner
Mammal Marry
Mammal Jane
snake Brian

Can I do that?

select
case
when animal in ('dog','cat') then 'Mammal'
else animal
end as animal,
owner
from tableA

No, you're never too old to Yak'n'Roll if you're too young to die.

if u just want to replace it then use
this
:

select REPLACE(animal,'dog','mammal') from tab_name
select REPLACE(animal ,'cat','mammal') from tab_name
