Removing words and spaces using DTS
I have a table of addresses I need to import each month and under the 'County' Column the word County or Burrough follows each county name. Ex 'Baltimore County', 'Washington County', 'Davis Burrough' etc.

Using DTS is there a way to remove the space and County(Burrough) following each county name? I've tried using the trim feature but that only seems the Trim the White Space.

Thanks for any help you can offer.

I did it!
I used the following code successfully:

UPDATE TableName
SET County = (REPLACE(REPLACE(County,' County',''),' Borough',''))
GO
