Hi,
I'm a newbie in SQL world, and I would like to know how can we format the output of a SQL query.
For example, I would like to have the first 20 characters of a field (and only the first 20!), say NAME, which is 60 characters long. Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Patricio.
