Am having a table with struct like
CREATE TABLE WEO_SAMP_TEXT (KEY_VAL NUMBER,VALUE1 VARCHAR2(20))

Am having values like

key_val value1
199933 1803-cm-vehicle
199933 195-vm-vehicle

While selecting the data , Starting value should be a number.
ex

tg-1903-cm_vehicle
1855-ff-vehicle
tg-155-cm_vehicle

among these values i need 1855-ff-vehicle only.

add the condition "and substr(value1,1,1) in ('0','1',...,'9')" or "substr(value1,1,1) between '0' and '9'".

I need to update that table only with the number which is appearing initially.

ex

original value

key_val value1

199933 1803-cm-vehicle
199933 195-vm-vehicle
167777 19077-dd-vehicle

i need update statement which should finally appears as

key_val value1
199933 1803
199933 195
167777 19077

so i have tried with the query

UPDATE weo_SAMP_TEXT SET value1=( SELECT SUBSTR(x.value1,1, INSTR(x.value1,'-',1 )-1) , INSTR(x.value1,'-',1 )
FROM weo_SAMP_TEXT x WHERE x.KEY_VAL =1989 AND SUBSTR(x.value1,1, 1) IN('0','1','2','3','4'))


it's giving too many value error
