Roland, Substr starts with 1
eg select (substr (namn,1,1)) from test will give you the 1 character starting from the first character. Unfortunately I don't know what you mean by versal. Iain Nicoll -----Original Message----- Sent: Wednesday, March 27, 2002 11:59 AM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Hallo, I know this question sound a bit simple, but can anyone give me a select statement which make the first character of the word in a field Would appreciate very much. I have checked the manual but cant get it right. I am starting with this sql statement: select (substr (namn,0,1)) from test to pick outthe first character and I want that first character to be a VERSAL.
