Select Part Of Text Field
I want to get a snippet from a text field. I don't want the whole thing, just the first 200 characters, for example. Is this okay or is there a better way?
SELECT title, LEFT(body, 200) as body
FROM table.

Select Part Of A Text On Db?
I have a column saved as LONGTEXT on mysql. This text saves rich text. I'm currently reading all the text then fixing it using javascript to get the first 100 characters in a way not to split the word in its middle. Yet this way don't seem the best way to do it. I want to select a summary directly using the query, yet I also want to be careful not to include characters that are html tags. The function below seems working fine to strip the html. SET GLOBAL log_bin_trust_function_creators=1; DROP FUNCTION IF EXISTS fnStripTags; DELIMITER | CREATE FUNCTION fnStripTags( Dirty varchar(4000) ) RETURNS varchar(4000).........

SELECT TEXT FIELD
I want to do a SELECT query to display data from a TEXT field. It doesn't work with a simple SELECT statement and I've looked all over the books / documentation for the syntax but can't find anything. I keep getting a check syntax error. I want to display text data from a field called DESC in a Books table for a bookselling website as in : SELECT BOOK DESC FROM allbooks WHERE BOOK = Number ( BOOK is the ID number ) (I know that in an object based DB I have used there is a READ comand and a WRITE command to be used with text streams but how do you do it with SQL / MySQL ? )

Getting Part Of A Text Column Value?
I have built a site from an html model the client made but, now, they want some of the product description text displayed elsewhere and so I need to store it in a different column because its relationship is different. how should my query look to grab the text shown in capitals? it's always at the beginning of the text block and it may or may not be in the same paragraph. it may be one or more sentences. I just want the sentence(s) in capitals and their respective full stops/periods. [code].... MySQL Code: SELECT * FROM product_range WHERE description REGEXP '[[:upper:]]+';

Create A Field By Deleting A Part Of The String From Another Field!
I have a table for "Addresses", which has a column titled "Address" and the records in this column are a combination of house#, street name and street suffix, which typically looks like "100 Main Street". I am looking for a query result wherein a new column would be created which would have only the street name and the suffix and would eliminate the house #s, hence the result would look like "Main Street".

Db Full-Text Search - Searching For Part Of A Keyword?
I've read about full-text search functions in mysql. But in these methods you have to search for exactly right spelled complete words. For example if your text contains 'Bitdefender 2009' and you search for Bit, you get nothing SELECT * FROM logs WHERE MATCH (log) AGAINST ('Bit 09' IN BOOLEAN MODE); So are there any solution for this? (Is there a technique which would let you search for misspelled keywords as well? for example you search for Bitdefedner)

Sort By Numeric Part Of A Field
I must sort a table width only one column. Inside the field I have, for example, hard disk capacity (something like '100Gb' or '80Gb' or '80Gbyte' or 'Gb80'). So, if I use ORDER BY ... DESC, 80Gb will be before 100Gb and other errors. How can i sort the table only on the numeric part of the field? I'm trying using CAST() but with no results.

Update Query For Part Of A Field
I need to update part of a field in around 3000 rows of a table. In each case the field in question has text already in it but I need to add an extra bit of text to the start of each one. I've had a look on the web and have found examples that show you how to replace text in part of a field but haven't found anything about adding new text.

Editing Part Of Field In MySQL
I exported an excel database with no number formatting to a comma delimited txt file and imported it into mySQL. The database contains 24000 rekords. For some reason some 3000 odd rekords were imported with .00 decimals. Is there a way through a SQL query that I can delete ONLY the incorrect .00 data from multiple fields? I don't exactly look forward to manually editing 3000 rekords!

Display Only Part Of A Field Using A Regex?
I have a field called 'url'In it, there are many url's, they are all in different formats.y all have tracking ID's on the end however...I want to only view the tracking ID's...The tracking ID's are all different... BUT they have 2 things in common... they are always near the end of the string, and they are exactly 6 charchters long....So I'd like to use a regex that:1. Starts searching from the right of the string2. finds the first occurrence of 6 uninterrupted alphanumeric characters3. Displays those characters to the user.From what I've read about regex's and mysql, the regex function only ever returns true/false for use in a where clause.s there anyway to accomplish what I'm trying to do in sql land?I'd post examples of the URL's I'd like to parse, but new users can't do that :-(

INSERT INTO SELECT Taking Forever But SELECT Part Is Fast?
I have the following mysql code to insert about a million rows. This takes quite a long time (over 50 min). However, when I just run the query alone without the INSERT command, the query itself only takes under 5 minutes. Is there a way I could speed up the inserting?? insert into tblc select tbla.* from tblb inner join tbla on tbla.issuer_id = tblb.issuer_id;

UPDATE Command To Alter 'part' Of A Field Entry?
I need to work out what SQL command I use to update (replace) only part of a field. Is this possible? Example: I have a load of records like this in a table called 'contacts' ID: 1 First Name: Joe Last Name: Bloggs Email: something@something.com Website: <a href="www.website.com">Link</a> How do I change every record in my database so the end part of Website records say ... >Website</a> instead of >Link</a> ? Im guessing the command would start with UPDATE contacts SET website ='>website</a>' WHERE website {some command here} '>link</a>'
