Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: Make first character Versal
Actually both return the same (just tried in 8.1.7 on NT):
select substr (test_col, 0, 1) from my_table
select substr (test_col, 1, 1) from my_table
The problem may be with getting the VERSAL but don't know what it means
