    I've got a select and I want to delete the last 5 characters.
    Can I do it with subst.My example is:
    v_select:='select .....'
    substr(v_select,1,3)
    But if I don't know that the final character is in 3rd position,how can I do it without counting all the characters...
    Thanks

    The easiest way is counting all the characters:
    substr(v_select, 1, length(v_select)-5)
