Thread: Cleaning up extraneous markup in history table

Cleaning up extraneous markup in history table Your last visit to this thread was on 1/1/1970 12:00:00 AM

We recently did an import from an ACT8 DB. Some of the notes that came into our history table have a bunch of crappy markup in front of the text. I started doing some updates with replace to remove the garbage. I've been doing this with ADO Explorer and all looks good there but in the client my notes still showed the markup.

I just realized a moment ago that it's because I'm seeing the LONGNOTES values, which were not being updated. ADO Explorer shows the column as a (MEMO). Can I still use the Update with replace statement on a memo field?

I'm working within a test environment right now so there is no worries of data loss.

I have done clean up on the note data a few times. You might be able to do it with a SQL command but I have always done it with a VB Script. The script loops through the history table, reads the memo field into a variable, cleans up the text as needed, then issues a SQL statement to update the longnotes and note fields.
