在SQL Server 2008中删除字符串中的所有空格的最佳方法是什么?

LTRIM(RTRIM(' a b '))将删除字符串右侧和左侧的所有空格,但我还需要删除中间的空格。

一个功能版本(udf),删除空格,cr, lf,制表符或可配置。

select Common.ufn_RemoveWhitespace(' 234   asdf   wefwef 3  x   ', default) as S

结果:234 asdfwefwef3x

alter function Common.RemoveWhitespace
(
    @pString nvarchar(max),
    @pWhitespaceCharsOpt nvarchar(max) = null -- default: tab, lf, cr, space 
)  
returns nvarchar(max) as
/*--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Purpose:   Compress whitespace

    Example:  select Common.ufn_RemoveWhitespace(' 234   asdf   wefwef 3  x   ', default) as s 
              -- Result: 234asdfwefwef3x

我会使用REPLACE

select REPLACE (' Hello , How Are You ?', ' ', '' )

取代

T-sql replace http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms186862.aspx

代表(val, ', ', ')

简单地替换它;

SELECT REPLACE(fld_or_variable, ' ', '')

编辑: 澄清一下;它是一个全局替换,不需要trim()或担心char或varchar的多个空格:

create table #t (
    c char(8),
    v varchar(8))

insert #t (c, v) values 
    ('a a'    , 'a a'    ),
    ('a a  '  , 'a a  '  ),
    ('  a a'  , '  a a'  ),
    ('  a a  ', '  a a  ')

select
    '"' + c + '"' [IN], '"' + replace(c, ' ', '') + '"' [OUT]
from #t  
union all select
    '"' + v + '"', '"' + replace(v, ' ', '') + '"'
from #t 

结果

IN             OUT
===================
"a a     "     "aa"
"a a     "     "aa"
"  a a   "     "aa"
"  a a   "     "aa"
"a a"          "aa"
"a a  "        "aa"
"  a a"        "aa"
"  a a  "      "aa"

这是去除字符串上的空格的技巧:

UPDATE
    tablename
SET
    columnname = replace(columnname, ' ', '');

如果字符串中有多个空格,则replace可能无法正常工作。为此,应该使用下面的函数。

CREATE FUNCTION RemoveAllSpaces
(
    @InputStr varchar(8000)
)
RETURNS varchar(8000)
AS
BEGIN
declare @ResultStr varchar(8000)
set @ResultStr = @InputStr
while charindex(' ', @ResultStr) > 0
    set @ResultStr = replace(@InputStr, ' ', '')

return @ResultStr
END

例子:

select dbo.RemoveAllSpaces('aa  aaa       aa aa                 a')

输出:

aaaaaaaaaa
