Jim, Yeah, I typoed. Sorry, worked with SQL Server a lot. I did mean a PL/SQL solution, however, I cannot write a PL/SQL function to utilize, so whatever SQL I use, it has to work inside a <cfquery>
To my knowledge, Oracle doesn't have a right() function, and the sql provided didn't work in Oracle. Also, I could have extensions with any number of digits, so I'm not sure that will work anyway. Still looking for a solid solution.

In your message you wanted a T-SQL solution, but said your database was Oracle. Did you mean to say a PL/SQL or possible just SQL solution? T-SQL is the proprietary version of SQL specific to Sybase and SQL Server. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Upgrade to Adobe ColdFusion MX7 Experience Flex 2 & MX7 integration & create powerful cross-platform RIAs http:http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;56760587;14748456;a?http://www.adobe.com/products/coldfusion/flex2/?sdid=LVNU Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:269438 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
