title: Remove characters from a SQL Table
body: <p>I have around 80 table (each table has around 12,000 rows and 190 columns)</p>
  
  <p>I need to clean up the data by removing a few characters in it. (ƒ, € and ¢)</p>
  
  <p>These characters appear throughout the entire database (can be anywhere in the data) and I need to remove all of them. Is there any efficient way to do so?</p>
  
  <p>I have tried writing a C# application - using datareader to read the data, then check for occurrence of the characters then remove them, and finally update the data back to the table. However, such method is too time consuming.</p>
