List pgsql-general
I have a column that I wish to use to designate loop numbers.
 
A loop number is composed of a letter (F for flow, T for temperatures etc.) followed by a sequence number starting at one and ending with the last loop.
 
The loop numbers will appear as F-1, T-2 and so on.
 
I seem to have no problem designating the column with the appropriate letters.
 
However, I haven't a clue how to add the numerical portion - or if it is even possible.
 
If anyone has a thought I would appreciate being pointed to some documentation that covers this.
