Roland,

Substr starts with 1

select (substr (namn,1,1)) from test will give you the 1 character starting from the first character.

Unfortunately I don't know what you mean by versal.

Hallo,

I know this question sound a bit simple, but can anyone give me a select statement which make the first character of the word in a field Would appreciate very much. I have checked the manual but cant get it right.

I am starting with this sql statement:

select (substr (namn,0,1)) from test to pick outthe first character and I want that first character to be a VERSAL.

Thanks in advance

Roland
