its easy to do at SQL side with the following query compared to the C# side implementation

SQL

select right(columnsName,LEN(columnsName)-3) from tableName

'length' is not a recognized built-in function name.

ok its working how can i use this for only last value of the column.
to get last value of the column is i used
SELECT cSerialNumber
FROM _btblInvoiceLineSN
WHERE idInvoiceLineSN = (SELECT Max(idInvoiceLineSN)
FROM _btblInvoiceLineSN)
and my last value is RET001 so i want to select last valuw with out prefix
