I have one more MySQL situation at hand.  This one involves taking off the trailing number of similar entries.

 

Suppose, in my table... in some column.. lets say it's called SKU, I have the following entries.

 

- SOSW
SOSW1
SOSW2
SOSW3
SBIO
SBIO1
SBIO2
SBIO3

Is there a quick query that I can use to change all those to

SOSW
SOSW
SOSW
SOSW
SBIO
SBIO
SBIO
SBIO

If it's only one number, this should work. Might ought to test it before you just let it go wild, though :)

 

SELECT REVERSE(SUBSTR(REVERSE(`field`), 2)) FROM `table`

 

Or to update

UPDATE `table` SET `field` = REVERSE(SUBSTR(REVERSE(`field`), 2))
