fieldsize: 255. I tried to use SUBSTR:
sql_tutorial=> SUBSTR(prod_name,1,45; SELECT prod_name FROM Products;
sql_tutorial(>
sql_tutorial(>
sql_tutorial(> SELECT prod_name FROM Products;
sql_tutorial(> SUBSTR(prod_name,1,45;
but I have the syntax wrong. What does '(>' instead of '=>' mean?
Thanks,
Jerome
