REPLACE 2 string with replacement string in sql

Question

SSN=LTRIM(RTRIM(REPLACE(A.SSN,'-','')))

Can some one please help me? This code replaces "-" with '' of ssn column which works. But now I want to also replace dots . with '' string. Can someone help me how to replace both - and .?

Any help will be highly appreciated.

Thank you

Use one more replace

LTRIM(RTRIM(REPLACE(REPLACE(A.SSN,'-',''),'.','')))

If you are using Oracle, the easiest way to do this is using regexp_replace to only get the digits.

regexp_replace(ssn, '\D', '')
