Good luck.

SQL replace - find word and replace it
you need the text column in replace
Update TABLE
SET Text = replace(text, 'TEAM', 'AMOUNT')
Where text like '%TEAM%'
seems you are not using mysql but sql.serve and you have ntext
so you could try using a cast
Update TABLE
SET Text = replace(cast text as nvarchar(4000), 'TEAM', 'AMOUNT')
Where text like '%TEAM%'

Quickest/Easiest way to use Search/Replace through all stored procedures
To search: if you need to find database objects (e.g. tables, columns, triggers) by name - have a look at the FREE Red-Gate tool called SQL Search which does this - it searches your entire database for any kind of string(s).
It's a great must-have tool for any DBA or database developer - did I already mention it's absolutely FREE to use for any kind of use?
This tool doesn't support replacing text, however - but even just being able to find all the relevant stored procedures (or other DB objects) is very helpful indeed!
