MySQL query to get all characters before a specific character hyphen
For this, you can use SUBSTRING_INDEX(). Let us first create a table −
mysql> create table DemoTable1857 ( Name varchar(20) ); Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)
Insert some records in the table using insert command −
mysql> insert into DemoTable1857 values('John-Smith');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable1857 values('Brown-Chris');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable1857 values('David-Carol-Miller');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec)Display all records from the table using select statement −
mysql> select * from DemoTable1857;
This will produce the following output −
+--------------------+ | Name | +--------------------+ | John-Smith | | Brown-Chris | | David-Carol-Miller | +--------------------+ 3 rows in set (0.00 sec)
Here is the query to get all characters before specific character hyphen −
mysql> select substring_index(Name,'-',1) Name from DemoTable1857;
This will produce the following output −
+-------+ | Name | +-------+ | John | | Brown | | David | +-------+ 3 rows in set (0.00 sec)
