1.2.3 Remove double quotation marks at the <strong>be</strong>ginning and the end of a<br />
name<br />
Description<br />
<strong>Name</strong>s that have a double quotation mark at the <strong>be</strong>ginning and the end, and that do not contain<br />
any other double quotation mark, should have quotation marks removed.<br />
Analysis<br />
<strong>Name</strong>s that have a double quotation mark and do not contain any other double quotation mark<br />
are identified by querying the data for the following pattern: “””%””” and not “””%””%”””.<br />
52 names were identified that start and end with a double quotation mark and do not contain<br />
any other double quotation mark.<br />
Implementation<br />
All <strong>be</strong>ginning and ending double quotation marks of names that start and end with a double<br />
quotation mark and do not have any additional double quotation marks were removed by<br />
executing an update query on the data.<br />
Since the removal of double quotation marks at the <strong>be</strong>ginning and the end of a name can lead<br />
to leading spaces, names have to <strong>be</strong> checked for and trimmed of leading spaces after removal<br />
of double quotation marks.<br />
Results<br />
Beginning and ending double quotation marks have <strong>be</strong>en removed in 52 names.<br />
