String Functions (Visual FoxPro ODBC Driver)

The following table lists ODBC string manipulation functions supported by the Visual FoxPro ODBC Driver; when the Visual FoxPro grammar for the same function differs from the ODBC syntax, the Visual FoxPro equivalent is listed.

ODBC grammar Visual FoxPro grammar
ASCII (string_exp) ASC (string_exp)
CHAR (code) CHR (string_exp)
CONCAT (string_exp1, string_exp2) string_exp1 + string_exp2
DIFFERENCE (string_exp1, string_exp2)
INSERT (string_exp1, start, length, string_exp2) STUFF (string_exp1, start, length, string_exp2)
LCASE (string_exp) LOWER (string_exp)
LEFT (string_exp, count)
LENGTH (string_exp) LEN (string_exp)
LTRIM (string_exp)
REPEAT (string_exp, count) REPLICATE (string_exp, count)
REPLACE (string_exp1, string_exp2, string_exp3) STRTRAN (string_exp1, string_exp2, string_exp3)
RIGHT (string_exp, count)
RTRIM (string_exp)
SOUNDEX (string_exp)
SPACE (count)
SUBSTRING (string_exp, start, length) SUBSTR (string_exp, start, length)
UCASE (string_exp) UPPER (string_exp)
