Truncating String in sql query

Hi,

I'm having one location table where the values of location are returned as KC_KansasCity,CHAR_Charlotte,PEW_Pewauke etc,I want to truncate the characters before underscore and also underscore while inserting the data into table.

i.e for Eg:I've to ignore KC_ and insert only KansaCity into the table.

Can anybody advise me on how to do this..

Thanks,
Anil

Use something like this:

select
substr('CHAR_Charlotte', instr('CHAR_Charlotte', '_', 1)+1)
from dual;

I'm assuming a single underscore in the names.
