[Quoted] [Quoted] Is there a mid$() function - or equivalent to it - in pl/sql? I need to pull the first X characters from a string, truncating the rest. ie: strA = "very_long_string_variable"
strB = left(strA, 10)

would result in strB = "very_long_"

Simple idea....can I get some help with the syntax?

Thank you,
