remove all double quotes from column values using t-sql

Hi,
I am having problem withj double quotes being inserted automatically when i
am inserting data using a CSV file.I am using a C# program to insert the
values.
My coulmn is called whereClause and it is a varchar(50) e.g
'ISNULL(salary,2000)=2000'
but what gets inserted is "'ISNULL(salary,2000)=2000'"
I am using this value in dynamic sql to generate a query such as
exec 'select salary from employee where '+@.whereClause and I get error
because of the automatic double quote insertion.
The CSV file does not have double quotes so I need a solution that will do
either 1 of the following
1)suppress insertion of double quotes in the table in C# OR
2)write query to remove the double quotes using T-SQL
Solution 2 is preferable.
Your help is highly appreciated.
Thanks.if I understood the question correctly, this should work..
declare @.a varchar(30)
set @.a = '"ISNULL(salary,2000)=2000"'
select replace(@.a,'"','')|||Thans for the reply.
But the problem is I have about a thousand rows and each condition is
different and having double quotes eg
id whereClause
1 "ISNULL(salary,5000)=5000"
2 "ISNULL(bonus,400)>600"
3 "IN(600,40)"
I want to remove all double quotes and update the table with proper values i
e
if table contains "ISNULL(salary,5000)=5000" I want to update it as
ISNULL(salary,5000)=5000
Thanks.

create table #x (s varchar(30))
INSERT #x values ('abcdefg')
INSERT #x values ('"hijklmn"')
INSERT #x values ('o"p"q"r"s"t"u')
select * from #x
UPDATE #x
SET S = REPLACE(S,'"','')
select * from #x
