You need to use SUBSTRING_INDEX() function from MySQL to extract part of a URL.
Let us first create a table −
mysql> create table DemoTable ( Id int NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY, URL text ); Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.53 sec)
Insert some records in the table using insert command −
mysql> insert into DemoTable(URL) values('https:\\www.example.com\\homepage');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.27 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable(URL) values('https:\\www.onlinetest.com\\welcome\\indexpage');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.12 sec)Following is the query to display all records from the table using select statement −
mysql> select *from DemoTable;
This will produce the following output. Here, we can only a slash is visible because internally MySQL removes one slash in result −
+----+---------------------------------------------+ | Id | URL | +----+---------------------------------------------+ | 1 | https:\www.example.com\homepage | | 2 | https:\www.onlinetest.com\welcome\indexpage | +----+---------------------------------------------+ 2 rows in set (0.00 sec)
Following is the query to extract part of a URL in MySQL −
mysql> select substring_index(URL,'\\',-1) from DemoTable;
This will produce the following output −
+------------------------------+ | substring_index(URL,'\\',-1) | +------------------------------+ | homepage | | indexpage | +------------------------------+ 2 rows in set (0.00 sec)
