Trying to work with your code -
update table set name =
substr( name,1,strpos(name, (REGEXP_MATCHES(name, E'\\(.+?\\)')) )-1 ) ||
substr( name,strpos(name, (REGEXP_MATCHES(name, E'\\(.+?\\)')) ) + 1
,char_length(name))
I am trying to find what is there before the pattern and after the pattern
and concatenating them . Please see documentation for proper use of
substr,strpos,cahr_length etc.
Regards,
Jayadevan
