Here is a puzzle!
A text field contains this info:
TEXT
I want to put parenthesis around the words:
Value Before Uplift
I can easily get the one on the end by taking the field and doing:
set text = text || ')'
HOW DO I get the right parenthesis to be before the word Value?
Ulitimately I want:
Split = 25% of $8715.27 (Value Before Uplift)
I'd love to have this in a simple update statement:
update sometable
set text = ?????????? solution ???????
Any ideas?
