I have a column, phone. The field uses this format, XXX-XXX-XXXX. The field has 3000 rows.
Is there a way I can get rid of all the "-" in all the rows and make the data to appear in a format of XXXXXXXXXX?

Code: 
Update Table
Set    PhoneNumber = Replace(PhoneNumber, '-', '')

Since there is no where clause, this will affect all the records in the table.
