This article provides a simple example of how to search for
and replace string content using the build-in REPLACE function
in Oracle.
In the following example, I want to replace all occurances of
"http://secure." with "https://secure." within
the table company_config:
UPDATE company_config
SET company_url = REPLACE(company_url, 'http://secure.', 'https://secure.')
WHERE company_url like 'http://secure.%';
1082 rows updated.
