Use the INSTR function:

select ltrim(substr(field1,instr(field1,' '))) from temp;

If field1 is

1 John
2 Frederic
99 Jimmy

you will get

John
Frederic
Jimmy

Hallo,

How can I write in apl/sql code if I want to make an insert from table one into table two and in one of the fields delete the space in front of the first blank.

For instance It says

1 John
2 Frederic
99 Jimmy
in table one

and I want the pl/sql code to delete the values in front of the names wheninserted into table two
so in table two it would be:
just :

John
Frederic
Jimmy

Thanks in advance

Roland S
