Solution 2

Use Replace[^]

SQL

UPDATE TableName SET ColumnName = (SELECT REPLACE(ColumnName,'E:/BackUpWebsites/sri','') FROM TableName)

You can update by the following way

SQL

UPDATE TableName SET [ColumnName] = REPLACE([ColumnName],'E:/BackUpWebsites/sri','') FROM TableName

The user wants to remove the text from the column. This would just select the remaining part.

Oh I thought he can manage, I'll update.

Solution 3

DECLARE @path VARCHAR(256) -- path name
DECLARE db_cursor CURSOR FOR
SELECT ColunmName
FROM TableName
OPEN db_cursor
FETCH NEXT FROM db_cursor INTO @path
WHILE @@FETCH_STATUS = 0
BEGIN
       SELECT REPLACE(@path,'E:/BackUpWebsites/sri','') FROM TableName
       FETCH NEXT FROM db_cursor INTO @path
END
CLOSE db_cursor
DEALLOCATE db_cursor
