Replacing all occurrences of a string in a VARCHAR column?

Hi All
I have table Tab1 with a column Col1 of data type VARCHAR. I want to
replace every "Kop " string in that column with "HY". Is there an easy way to
do this. Below is an example with column Col1 with 2 rows of data:
Col1
---
J Dixion
K Kop
I got some helpful scripts on replacing a string within a TEXT column last
time like the one below. I have tried those scripts on other data types of
data like VARCHAR and it did not work.

Thank you in advance.MittyKom,
Try the T-SQL REPLACE function.
