| Morning all,I have set of data which has starts with the later "ABC\Bert" or "XYZ\Ernie" and would like to trim it so that anything after the "\" shows in my sql statement. I was thinking of doing a left trim but annoying, there are results in my table that already have data with out the "ABC\" or "XYZ\" in . Any advice on how to make these changes?Cheers |
