How to trim first 3 blank spaces only ?

edited Dec 9, 2014 7:47PM in PL/SQL (MOSC) 4 commentsAnswered

Hi,

We are in Oracle 11G and SQL Developer Version 4.0.0.13.

I would like update the following (i.e., SBL = MCU) and its throwing in "SQL Error: ORA-12899: value too large for column".


Values are :- SBL   = '         403'

                    MCU   = '     403'

In the above circumstances, I would like LTRIM the SBL field for the first 3 blank / white spaces alone.

How to accomplish the above requirement ? Please do the needful at the earliest.

Regards,

RAM.

Howdy, Stranger!
