Try using this:

SUBSTR(<value>, INSTR(<value>,' ') + 1, LENGTH(<value>)) where <value> is your string.

For example:

SUBSTR('2 Frederic', INSTR('2 Frederic',' ')+1,LENGTH('2 Frederic')) will return "Frederic"
SUBSTR('99 Jimmy', INSTR('99 Jimmy',' ')+1,LENGTH('99 Jimmy')) will return "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
