You can try something like

SELECT SUBSTR(field1,1,INSTR(field1,' ',-1)-1) FROM your_table;

This are limitations. This assumes no trailing spaces and words are separated by a single space.
If without limitations you could write pl/sql to do the same thing.

Hallo,

If I have this field1

Kenny Jenny A1000
Jenny L1000
No info
Missing Info

I would have:

Kenny Jenny
Jenny
No info
Missing Info

How do I write the select statement to solve this I just want the last word in the field to be taken away in the result from the select statement.
