**Key points**:

- Case-sensitive replacement
- Works for any SQL-compatible database

Here are the most commonly asked questions about the `REPLACE` function in SQL:

Q. **What is the `REPLACE` function in SQL?**
A. The `REPLACE` function in SQL is used to replace all occurrences of a substring within a string with another substring.
It allows you to manipulate text data by replacing specified characters or words in a column.

Q. **What is the syntax of the `REPLACE` function in SQL?**
A. The basic syntax is:
REPLACE(string, old_substring, new_substring)
- `string`: The original string or column value.
- `old_substring`: The substring you want to replace.
- `new_substring`: The new substring that will replace the old one.

Example:
```sql
SELECT REPLACE('Hello World!', 'Hello', 'SQL');
-- Output: SQL World!
```

Q. **Is the `REPLACE` function case-sensitive?**
A. Yes, the `REPLACE` function is case-sensitive in most SQL databases. For example, `REPLACE('Hello', 'h', 'H')` will not change anything, because `'h'` is not the same as `'H'`.

Q. **Can I use `REPLACE` to replace multiple substrings in one query?**
A. No, the `REPLACE` function only works for a single substring replacement at a time.
However, you can nest multiple `REPLACE` functions to perform multiple replacements.

Example:
SELECT REPLACE(REPLACE('Hello World', 'World', 'SQL'), 'Hello', 'Greetings');
-- Output: Greetings SQL

Q. **Can I use `REPLACE` in the `WHERE` clause to filter results?**
A. Yes, you can use the `REPLACE` function in the `WHERE` clause, although it's more commonly used in `SELECT` or `UPDATE` queries. This can be useful if you want to filter or modify the data before returning or updating it.
