Post Oracle SQL
Hi
can someone help me with this ,,,,,

I have a table customer with the following fields

customerID
custCat
etc,,

customerID is of the form Cxxxx, xxxx is numbers 0001-9999
custCat is string of three letters which specifies the type of customer..like spl(special), ord(ordinary) etc...

I would like to know if there is any way, I can get a combination of customerID and custCat as customerId when user makes a 'SELECT query.
I mean when user selects some records, he should see customerID as splC0001 or 'ordC8398' etc...even though customerID on database is Cxxxx....s

Please suggest any other solutions for this situation
thanks,

U didn't understand my question.
I want to set up on database side such that whenever user queries as
select customerID etc...
it should fetch me
select custCat||customerID etc..


I hope now it is clear...sorry for confusion

CREATE VIEW user_view
AS
SELECT custCat||customerID, ...
FROM ...

Then give the user only access to the view
