SQL search and replace within Wordpress

Hi all,

SQL newbie here.

A user of a blog I’m looking at has inserted a blank image to use for spacing within a lot of his posts. The image has been inserted with many different widths/heights embedded in the html. I’d like to do a search and replace:

<a href=“http://www.domain.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/BLANK-SPACE.jpg”>*</a>

and replace it with nothing. * is the wildcard (obviously).

Can you guys help?

Cheers.
