How to select all the characters after the first 20 characters from a column in MySQL?


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)
