I have a table (in SQL 2000) that has phone numbers entered like this:
(xxx) xxx-xxxx
xxx-xxx-xxxx
xxxxxxxxxx
xxx xxx xxxx
Obviously, there should be controls in the app to only accept them in a specific format or auto-format them when they are entered but this is not the case. I was wondering if it would be possible to run some sort of script to auto-format all phone numbers so that they are stored in the table like this: (xxx) xxx-xxxx. Since they are in a variety of formats, is there a simple way to do this? I have tried a few things that I have found online (I'm testing them in a DB backup) but nothing has given me the results that I am after.
Thanks in advance.
