Hi all,

I am looking for resources on the net that help with explain how to use the "sub" function in SQL.

This isn't sub-select, or sub-query, I think its around wrapping a SQL around this "sub" function, which is particularly useful when you have field length limits and one of your SQL fields exceed that limit (i.e. my SQL field is 3000 characters long, but the field can only accept 2000 chars max.)

Any use this function and know where I could get more information? I tried searching but am stumped on getting search engines to get the right results.

Hi jfarrugia

I have figured it out. It was a SQL someone else did, and it was basically a SELECT, FROM, and WHERE inside a FROM part of the SQL that then was used to look at fields in the main SELECT. All of this was named as "sub". :)
