Hi; I've got a table with two fields and about 3000 rows, the second one is a character field, what can have about twenty different values; of course these values are repeated a lot of times in the table. I need to create a new column of type integer, whose value depens on the character fields. The values of the new column are not important, the important thing is who can I create this column and assign a different integer to a different char value in the other column. Thanks -------------- Javier
