"null" in between fields [message #6790]

I have 2 tables. One with good entry and one where there is a "null" or "space" between the text.
This has somehow caused the database not to recognized the field. Example: email address in table a: 'oracle1@oracle.com'
and email address in table b: 'oracle1 @oracle.com'.

How do I get table a to recognized table b's email address?

I'm assuming that's a space in the "bad" E-mail address...?

Shouldn't you clean the data first, then do your compare?

UPDATE b
SET    b.email_address = REPLACE(b.email_address,' ');

If this path is not feasible for you, then just

SELECT ...
FROM   a
,      b
WHERE  a.email_address = <a href="http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10501_01/server.920/a96540/functions102a.htm#78610">REPLACE</a>(b.email_address,' ');

Good luck,

A
