In Oracle database, you can use the REPLACE function to replace multiple strings. The syntax of the REPLACE function is as follows:

REPLACE(string, old_string, new_string)

In this case, the ‘string’ is the original string to be replaced, ‘old_string’ is the string to be replaced, and ‘new_string’ is the new string to replace it with. If you need to replace multiple strings, you can call the REPLACE function multiple times.

Here is an example demonstrating how to replace multiple strings.

SELECT REPLACE(REPLACE(string, 'old_string1', 'new_string1'), 'old_string2', 'new_string2') AS new_string
FROM table_name;

In this example, we first call the REPLACE function to replace old_string1 with new_string1, and then replace old_string2 with new_string2. You can repeat calling the REPLACE function as needed to replace multiple strings.
