Hi,
I have a column named col (varchar)

col could look like this
902930
902920
902900
903110
913210
913200
...
I would like to remove an object that doesn't end '00' and if there are objects that start with the same 4 charcters and ending with 00.
All objects ending with 00 shall remain.
All object not ending with 00 shall remain of there is no object starting with the same 4 characters and ending with 00

The result of the col table should be:
902900
903110
913200

903110 is not removed because there is no 903100
913210 is removed because there is a 913200
902930 and 902920 are removed because there is 902900

I hope you understand the logic , perhaps there is no logic in my explanation.
Thanks in advance,
Paul

Hi,

I would like to remove an object that doesn’t end ‘00’ and if there are objects that start with the same 4 charcters and ending with 00.
All objects ending with 00 shall remain.
All object not ending with 00 shall remain of there is no object starting with the same 4 characters and ending with 00

What about:

DELETE FROM tab t1

WHERE right (t1.col, 2) != '00'

AND EXISTS

(SELECT 1

FROM tab t2

WHERE t2.col = left (t1.col, 4) || '00');

It deletes rows where the right two characters are not ‘00’ and another row with the same first four characters and ‘00’ at the end exists.
