For this, use SUBSTR() as in the below syntax −
select * from yourTableName where substr(yourColumnName, 2, 1 ) = ' ';
Let us first create a table −
mysql> create table DemoTable1365 -> ( -> Value varchar(20) -> ); Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.66 sec)
Insert some records in the table using insert command −
mysql> insert into DemoTable1365 values('9756757474'); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.12 sec) mysql> insert into DemoTable1365 values('3 45322333'); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.19 sec) mysql> insert into DemoTable1365 values('8974646363'); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.13 sec) mysql> insert into DemoTable1365 values('9 566363622'); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.17 sec)
Display all records from the table using select statement −
mysql> select * from DemoTable1365;
This will produce the following output −
+-------------+ | Value | +-------------+ | 9756757474 | | 3 45322333 | | 8974646363 | | 9 566363622 | +-------------+ 4 rows in set (0.00 sec)
Here is the query to find the specific records in the table which has white space only on the second place like “3 4532” −
mysql> select * from DemoTable1365 -> where substr(Value, 2, 1 ) = ' ';
This will produce the following output −
+-------------+ | Value | +-------------+ | 3 45322333 | | 9 566363622 | +-------------+ 2 rows in set (0.00 sec)
