Hello: Is it possible to use mysql to select only the first letter of a string in a column? IOWS "select names from table" -> "select <first letter of> names from table" another way of asking my questions would be, Is it possible to truncate columns in selection set to a specific length (in the case: 1)
Pointers to relevant documents are welcome. Thanks tim -- Tim Johnson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.alaska-internet-solutions.com -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
