| Hi,I am trying to set the value of some attribute in a table, but it is storing the ascii value, not the character itself.e.g.select ascii(flag) from mytable;ASCII(flag)_______________1update mytable set flag='0';it showsselect ascii(flag) from mytable;ASCII(flag)_______________48Note:flag is of type CHAR(1)Kindly suggest how can I store the actual character in the attribute rather than its ascii value.Regards,Kuldeep |

| it's not storing the ascii value. You are selecting the ascii value when you use the ascii() funtion. |
