How can I pull a certain number of characters from a field with SQL? For instance, if I have values in a field like "OP 200, CY 301, CB 101, etc" how can I pull either the first two characters or the last three digits?

Sweet. I knew there had to be something like that.

Do you know of any references that would list all of the SQL functions like this? I've yet to find a really good one. Even if it were a book.
