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? ---------------------------------------------------------------- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.com ---------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe send email to: oracle-l-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx put 'unsubscribe' in the subject line. -- Archives are at //www.freelists.org/archives/oracle-l/ FAQ is at //www.freelists.org/help/fom-serve/cache/1.html -----------------------------------------------------------------
