Unifier des chaînes - REPLACE

« Fl » / « fl » / « Florida » → « Florida »

REPLACE ( string_to_replace , occurrences , string_replacement )

Remplace toutes les occurrences d'une chaîne par une autre
Effectue les comparaisons selon l'interclassement de l'entrée
- Utilisez COLLATE pour comparer avec un interclassement précis
- Supposons un interclassement insensible à la casse
