Thread: string function
Having a little issue, and cant seem to figure it out!
Every time I try to run this select command I get this error:
select left(kd_aln,2) as code from airlin
the error msg is : function left(character varying, integer) does not exist
How to resolve this problem
Thank for your attention

Hi,
I don’t believe the LEFT function exists (at least by default).
Try this instead:
select SUBSTR(kd_aln,LENGTH(kd_aln) - 1, 2) as code from airlin
Also, please don’t cross-post. This isn’t an ODBC question. You’re more likely to get useful answers posting once to the correct list.
Cheers,
