How to remove only the first word from columns values with a MySQL query?
To remove only the first word from column values, use substring(). Following is the syntax −
select substring(yourColumnName,locate(' ',yourColumnName)+1) AS anyAliasName from yourTableName;Let us first create a table −
mysql> create table DemoTable
(
Title text
);
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.50 sec)
Insert some records in the table using insert command −
mysql> insert into DemoTable values('Java in Depth');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.49 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable values('C++ is an object oriented programming language');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.47 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable values('MySQL is a relational database');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.17 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable values('Python with data structure');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.24 sec)Display all records from the table using select statement −
mysql> select *from DemoTable;
This will produce the following output −

| MySQL is a relational database |
| Python with data structure |
