HI All, My simple select statemnt is giving improper results from a table which has only 1 row. The below is the case: SQL> select hospital_id from image_staging_table ; HOSPITAL_ID --------------- ASHFORD SQL> select hospital_id, acct# from image_staging_table; HOSPITAL_ID ACCT# --------------- ------------------------------ X104978978 SQL> select acct# from image_staging_table; ACCT# ------------------------------ X104978978 SQL> when i select more than 1 column, some colums data is missing. Am i missing something to setup. Thanks, Raj --------------------------------- Yahoo! FareChase - Search multiple travel sites in one click.
