    Hi All

    Iam having Users table which contains the users information data retrieved from Active directory. The users table contains mobilenumber column also. Now i want to validate for the mobilenumber retrieved if it has the countrycode as '91'. If it does not start with prefix as '91' then i need to append the saved mobile number with the prefix '91'. finally I mean I want to check for the country code. If the country code appears, then append 91 to your mobile number.

    For example if the mobile no is '900080000' then it should append as '91900080000'

    Kindly let me know the query for this.

    Thanks,

    Ram

    Hi Sean,

    Thanks for your spontaneous reply. That worked liked a charm for me, and iam having one doubt in this. Suppose if want to have the telephone country code as a flag and use it for appending the column when the number does not start with telephone country code. could you please help me on this.

    Thanks,

    He's already done that for you!

    Run the code in transaction to be able to roll it back and see what it does. come back if you have more issues.

    You can change <> '91' with different yourcolumn
