Update MySQL field to change smart quote to straigth quote
Hi,
I have some fields in a table products which has some smart quotes (from Microsoft Word) in them and the smart quotes don't work well with Javascript. So is there a fast way to update the smart quotes and change them to straight quotes using MySQL only. I know I can do this with PHP but I'd like to see the code for doing it with MySQL code only.
I can do this and receive 30 rows:
But I need a update one. For instance, the field product_descr contains this:
Able to hold skin’s moisture in balance through stressful shifts in humidity, like steamy exteriors and interiors parched by air conditioning. Never go thirsty again.
Notice the smart quote in skin's.
Thank you,
Victor
