manasa paduru,


Please post your queries to the right section. DB2 questions should be posted in DATABASE section. If these questions are part of interview then please post the questions in the Interview Q & A forum at the bottom.

Untested SQL

Code:

SELECT RECTY                                   
  FROM ABCD
 ORDER BY CASE WHEN SUBSTR(RECTY,1,1) = 'Z'   
               THEN ' ' || SUBSTR(RECTY,2,4)   
               ELSE RECTY END                 
               ;
