In this article, we are going to talk about the MySQL SUBSTRING() function with its variations. Here, you will find a detailed guide with the basic syntax and examples of how to use this function. Moreover, we will demonstrate the benefits of MySQL coding in a handy IDE - dbForge Studio for MySQL that can help you save a lot of time and energy.
The post Substring in MySQL – Syntax and Examples appeared first on Devart Blog.
So I noticed a few different questions and posts about parsing a
string out of another string recently. While some solutions
included creating new functions and etc it can also be done
within a single query in some cases.
For example, let us say that we are looking to pull out the
domain from a URL. I will try to go into detail as to why and how
this works.
We have the following table.
CREATE TABLE `parse_example` (
`id` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
`urldemo` varchar(150) NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`id`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB;
