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
