Angel:
As I remember there is a left().
But you don't need it.
The SQl below should do you fine (replace the stuff in []'s with
the appropriate info):
Select [FIELDS]
FROM [TABLE]
WHERE [CategoryName] LIKE '#URL.Letter#%'
I'd also suggest a clustered index on the [CategoryName] field.

Subject: Selecting All Categories that start with A..
Hey all,
I got a database that has like 120 categories.
The client wants A-Z along the top, and when A is clicked, only those
categories that start with A will show.
SO I'm trying to use SQL in the query, with a URL variable called Letter
passed when the user clicks the letter nav bar.
I am assuming that I can use a function such as Left() in SQL? Is there
anything like that?
How would I do something like this otherwise?
