You can replace the first three characters of a string in Oracle using the SUBSTR function along with the || operator to concatenate the new characters with the remaining string.


Here's an example query to replace the first three characters of a string with "abc":

1
2
SELECT 'abc' || SUBSTR(your_column, 4) AS new_string 
FROM your_table;


In this query:

  • 'abc' is the new string you want to replace the first three characters with.
  • your_column is the column containing the original string in your table.
  • your_table is the table containing the original string.


You can adjust the new characters and column names as needed for your specific scenario.
