Let us first create a table −
mysql> create table DemoTable ( Title text ); Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.86 sec)
Insert some records in the table using insert command −
mysql> insert into DemoTable values('C is a good programming language to start'); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.18 sec) mysql> insert into DemoTable values('Java is good with data structure and algorithm'); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.19 sec) mysql> insert into DemoTable values('Coding is very important'); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.20 sec)
Display all records from the table using select statement −
mysql> select *from DemoTable;
This will produce the following output −
+------------------------------------------------+ | Title | +------------------------------------------------+ | C is a good programming language to start | | Java is good with data structure and algorithm | | Coding is very important | +------------------------------------------------+ 3 rows in set (0.00 sec)
Following is the query to select all the characters after the first 20 characters −
mysql> select substring(Title from 20) from DemoTable;
This will produce the following output −
+-----------------------------+ | substring(Title from 20) | +-----------------------------+ | ming language to start | | ata structure and algorithm | | rtant | +-----------------------------+ 3 rows in set (0.00 sec)
