I would like to delete content from some but not all columns in a table record. Have tried set column = '' (two single quotes) and ' ' (space between single quotes). FB SQL is not happy with either approach. Would you please show me how to get this done.

Thumbs up
For each type of column, one type content

SO, if the COLUMN is type STRING

update <table>
set columnd_name = '' (OR NULL is is possible NULL content)
where <<clausule_needed>>
