How to trim commas with MySQL?
The syntax is as follows to trim commas −
SELECT TRIM(BOTH ',' FROM yourColumnName) from yourTableName;
Let us see an example −
mysql> create table TrimCommasDemo -> ( -> Id int NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY, -> AllTechnicalSkills text -> ); Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.81 sec)
Now you can insert some records in the table using insert command. The query is as follows −
mysql> insert into TrimCommasDemo(AllTechnicalSkills) values(',C,C++,Java,');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.14 sec)
mysql> insert into TrimCommasDemo(AllTechnicalSkills) values(',MySQL,SQL
Server,MongoDB,');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.13 sec)
mysql> insert into TrimCommasDemo(AllTechnicalSkills) values(',Spring
Framework,Hibernate Framework,');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.13 sec)Display all records from the table using select statement. The query is as follows −
mysql> select *from TrimCommasDemo;
Here is the output −
+----+----------------------------------------+ | Id | AllTechnicalSkills | +----+----------------------------------------+ | 1 | ,C,C++,Java, | | 2 | ,MySQL,SQL Server,MongoDB, | | 3 | ,Spring Framework,Hibernate Framework, | +----+----------------------------------------+ 3 rows in set (0.00 sec)
The following is the query to trim commas from leading and trailing with MySQL −
mysql> select TRIM(BOTH ',' FROM AllTechnicalSkills) from TrimCommasDemo;
Here is the output −
+----------------------------------------+ | TRIM(BOTH ',' FROM AllTechnicalSkills) | +----------------------------------------+ | C,C++,Java | | MySQL,SQL Server,MongoDB | | Spring Framework,Hibernate Framework | +----------------------------------------+ 3 rows in set (0.00 sec)
