I have a table with a column that is TEXT type. In the column are numeric characters. What I'm trying to achieve is to wrap those characters in double quotes. EXAMPLE: NAME ID QTY Apples A1 1 Oranges O1 1 Foo F1 0 IDEAL OUTPUT: NAME ID QTY Apples A1 "1" Oranges O1 "1" Foo F1 "0" I attempted to run the following SELECT statement but it didn't give me the result I was expecting. Perhaps you can guide me in the right direction? SELECT qty, CHAR('"'|| qty ||'"') FROM myTable; Thank You
