Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: Update table problem
Harvinder,
You have to combine the functions instr and substr.
you make a string with all the fields.
first_space := instr(string, ' ', 1, 1); --> The first white space beginning
from position 1
part1 := substr(string, 1, first_space -1);
part2 := substr(string, first_space + 1, 99);
update table
set field = part1||part2;
HTH, Regards,
Ramon E. Estevez

Asunto: Update table problem
Hi,
We inserted data into 1 of the column as
test 1 abc
while the actual value is
test1abc without spaces.
There are about 1 million rows in a table.
Is there a way to update the table column and remove the extra space .
Thanks
