SQL: Replace part of a string value in a database table - Solved

Assume you have a FRUIT table in your database. It has a column COUNTRIES containing a comma separated string of country names to indicate where you have business of trading this fruit. Now, you are going to trade Mango with a new country, Ruddo, and for some reason, to stop trading Mango with Gutta, you need to update the COUNTRIES value of the Mango record in your FRUIT table to add Ruddo and remove Gutta.

Instead of retyping the whole string, you can use the SQL below to replace Gutta by Ruddo.

Update FRUIT
Set Countries = REPLACE(Countries, "Gutta", "Ruddo")
WHERE FruitName = 'Mango';
