Hi, I have a table with FQDN. I'm trying to take from it the second part which desribed a city. Query isn't too clear but with what is important that whole substr was counted once and applied to every row. Can I (how?) force executor to run this substr on every row of my table? mtldb=# select substr(substr(s.nazwa,strpos(s.nazwa,'a.')+2),1, textlen(s.nazwa)-strpos(s.nazwa,+'.m')) from serwery_old s; substr -------- poznan mtl.pl ka.kie tia maz Marcin Mazurek -- Kierownik Działu Systemowego MULTINET SA o/Poznan http://www.multinet.pl/
