Hi All,

I'm in trouble to build a select...
I have a table (for example) like this:

Table: Employee
empCod | empName | empDepth
---------+-----------+-----------
1 | Anand | any
2 | Oliver | any
3 | Peter | any
4 | Bob | any
5 | David | any
6 | Paul | any

Now I would like to select all employees which name begins with the letter
"P".....

Select * from employee where "name-begin-with-letter-P".... :-)

How can I do it ???

Thanks in advance,

select * from employee where email ~ '^P';

or if case does not matter

select * from employee where upper(email) ~ '^P';

Re: Select

SELECT * FROM employee WHERE empname LIKE 'P%'

the above would work only if you want to search for people w/ names starting
w/ P
