HI ALL

I WANT TO USE A SUBSTRING FOR A SELECT QUERY

SQL

select  COLUMN1,COLUMN2,COLUMN3,
           COLUMN4,COLUMN5,COLUMN6,(select cust_location from d_man_regn where cust_folio_no = 'VALUES' and com_ref_no = 'VALUES' AND man_regn_status in('VALUES','VALUES')),COLUMN8
           from TABLE_NAME

THE ABOVE QUERY IS USED BY ME WHILE EXECUTING THIS QUERY I AM GETTING 8 COLUMN VALUES. I want to use a substring for the column8 value.

Can anyone provide a solution for me.

The substring query works almost the same like it is used in string functions of several programming languages.

SQL

SUBSTRING ( expression ,start , length )

So in your case, if you want to get just a substring of the value in COLUMN8 (if I got you right here) than edit your query to:

SQL

select  COLUMN1,COLUMN2,COLUMN3,
           COLUMN4,COLUMN5,COLUMN6,(select cust_location from d_man_regn where cust_folio_no = 'VALUES' and com_ref_no = 'VALUES' AND man_regn_status in('VALUES','VALUES')),Substring(COLUMN8, start, length)
           from TABLE_NAME
