Re: Setting up Oracle for NT - 8.0.4

In oracle you use double quotes for aliases of columns strings must be enclosed in single quotes. if your table contains double quotes in columns try this ( oracle only):

Select * from swpipes where pipeno = chr(34) || 'A1234' || chr(34)

34 is the ascii value for double quote
and the || is the concat operator for Strings
