Hi All,

Having a little issue, and can’t 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

Regards

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,

~p
