A while back I posted a link to a website that has hundreds of Oracle links.
It's a site that is good for Unix and Windoze bigots, pick your flavor.
Well, I lost my hard drive and my internet favorites.  If anyone has that
link that I posted I would greatly appreciate it if you can now post it cuz
I cannot remember the name of it.

Thanks

RE: Right()

SUBSTR(char,m[,n]) A subtring of char beginning at byte m, n bytes long (if
n omitted m to end of char)

i.e. If a = 'ABCDEFGHI'

substr(a,7,3) = 'GHI'
substr(a,7) = 'GHI'

Please don't laugh. What is the equivalent of a Right() function in
Oracle? I want to be able to sort a column numerically whose string
contents takes the format v1, v2, v3, v4. I was after something like:

ORDER BY Cast(Right(lt_tk_id, Length(lt_tk_id - 1)) as int)

but it's not playing nice. Order by Right(lt_tk_id, 1) gives the same
error, so I assume that's where it's falling down. I've searched
everywhere I can think of for right function, Oracle online docs,
Enterprise Manager docs, Google, but nothing seems to come close.

BTW, is it my imagination or do the docs leave a lot to be desired?


Thanks
