Use to_char, or to_number or a combination with replace, length, substr, translate, decode etc. to achieve your desired results.

Do you have access to Metalink? Did you ever get a subscription to OTN? If you don't have any one of the numerous fine books (many authored by people on this list) which would really give you a much better foundation, OTN has lots of documentation on utilities, PL/SQL and database administration.

Hallo,

How can I write in a pl/sql block if I want to do an insert from one table to another
table and at the same time translate the value '?' to 98 and the value 'X' to 'Missing info'
Both those values can exist in the first table. The datatyupe in table one is varchar2 and in table two it is numberdatatype.

Please help me.

Thanks in advance.

Roland S
