    --THIS SCRIPT WILL TAKE A STRING AND RETURN WITH ALL OF THE SPACES REMOVED
    CREATE FUNCTION dbo.fn_StripSpaces

    RETURNS varchar(255)
    AS

    Function that will take a string as a parameter
    and return that string with all of the spaces removed.

    This can be used anywhere you have a need to remove all spaces not just trailing or leading spaces.

    Use : dbo.dbo.fn_StripSpaces(' More stuff ')
    Return : 'Morestuff'

    */
    BEGIN
    DECLARE @retVal varchar(255)


    SET @retVal = REPLACE(
    REPLACE(
    REPLACE(@tString, SPACE(1), '<>')
    ,'><', SPACE(0))
    ,'<>', SPACE(0));


    RETURN @retVal
    END
