Gotta love Mondays,

We've been through this before, and I usually don't have a problem, but today my brain must think it's the weekend.

Hey, I've got a bunch of names like O'Brien and O'Reilley where I need to replace the ' symbol. I've tried every type of combination of single quotes and slashes(escape sequence) I can think of, but I must have missed one, because I can't get it to replace.

Any Ideas? Here's the progenitor of the whole mess.

1* select replace(lastname,' ' ') from adst where lastname like 'O%' SQL> /
