There are a few ways that you can replace text in SQL Server.
REPLACE allows you to find a string in a bigger string, and replace it with something else.
However, if you don't know what you are replacing, but where it is, then you can use STUFF. It allows you to replace LEFT and RIGHT functions with a single STUFF function.
If you want to replace multiple strings, or maybe switch strings around, then you might want to have a look at the TRANSLATE function.
