Hello guys,

I could use a few tips here.

I have a sql statement:

insert into table1
(
col1
)
select col1 from tabl2;

Problem is, I need to modify the data in the column from table2 first before inserting to table1. Like add a dash, after the third character ... chnage all A's to B's sort of thing.

Can you guys give me a few hints and perhaps a few keywords I can use to search google for?

Thank you very much.
