Question

declare @replacedString varchar(50)
set @replacedString = replace(@str,\'Good\',\'Better\')
print @replacedString
         


        

Answer 1

Append empty space at start and end of the string then replace ' Good ' with ' Better '. Finally use Ltrim and Rtrim to remove the empty space at start and end of the string

DECLARE @str VARCHAR(50)='Good Luck Good MarkandGood Good'
DECLARE @replacedString VARCHAR(50)

SELECT rtrim(ltrim(Replace(replace(' '+@str+' ',' Good ',' Better '),
' Good ',' Better ')))
