Morning,

Is there a way to add a prefix to a search criteria? I have this query where I have to prepend 'V-' to the search criteria.

This is the query:


SELECT distinct TrailerID
from Yardcheck.dbo.vwTrailerHistory 
where TrailerID = 'V + '-' + 525678'

It doesn't work of course but I can't seem to make it add the V- value.

Thanks as always for any help

Laura

If TrailerId column is varchar datatype, then try this

SELECT distinct TrailerID
from Yardcheck.dbo.vwTrailerHistory
where TrailerID = 'V-' + '525678'

Failing to plan is Planning to fail
