But if I have this field1

Kenny Jenny A1000
Jenny L1000
No info
Missing Info

I would have:
Kenny Jenny
Jenny
No info
Missing Info

How do I solve this: I just want the last word in the field to betaken away in the select statement.

Roland

This works I have ran it myself. eg.

FIELD1 DECODE(FIELD1,'NOINF

Jimmy J1000          Jimmy

Missing Info         Missing Info

Roland, I don't mean to be harsh, but can I politely suggest that you get yourself either booked on or self study Oracle Basics.

It seems that when someone provides you with a solution to a problem, rather
than press ahead and solve the rest of it yourself you merely ask another question. For example, your previous question to this was how to get "No info" selected. Next you ask how to get "Missing Info" as well.

Logic suggests that you merely repeat the solution you were given for the previous question re. "No Info".

Sorry if I appear to be giving a lecture here but of late it seems that you are throwing questions to the list without taking anytime to think about them yourself.

Regards

Lee

Hallo,

How can I do a select statement that creates this:

I have the field1

Jimmy Y1000
Timmy L33333
No Info
Missing Info

and I want the select to give me this:

Jimmy
Timmy
No Info
Missing Info

You see It should still be 'No info' and 'Missing Info'after the select statement.

How can I change this statement?

SELECT ltrim(substr(mxurval_namn,instr(mxurval_namn,' '))) FROM mxurval;

Thanks in advance

Roland S
