I want to remove the terminal period '.' from the varchar strings in the

I've looked at trim(), translate(), "substr(company_name 1,
length(compan_name) - 1)", and a couple of other functions and am
unsure how
best to do this without corrupting the database table.
Advice needed.

How about
test:
select company_name, replace(company_name,'.','') from companies;
update:
update companies set company_name = replace(company_name,'.','')
where company_name like '%.';
?
