Hello everybody:


 I have the following scenario:
 I have a database of products, each of those products have a product
 number
(like 04543000). Now the first five digits represent the product number,
and
the 2 following digits represent a differet color for the same product.
 Now I have to show the thumbnails of this products but only for one color.
So my query should look something like this:

 SELECT DISTINCT(product_number) FROM products.

 Now this query will return all the different product numbers i.e. but it
will also return the different colors as a different product number.
 Is there anyway to have a query like:
 SELECT DISTINCT(first_five_product_numbers) FROM products?

 I can find the solution to it. Maybe the solution will be more experience
:) But maybe the solution can be the list.




            Thanks,
             Hector
