jnull Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 I am trying to create an sql that will go through my entire database that will remove the first few letters form the data in field, for example:The field I want to update must have data that matches these first seven characters, "[b]About: [/b]", thus the data "[b]About: This Title[/b]" when updated should result with "[b]This Title[/b]" as the data.Any help is greatly appreciated! ::) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
obsidian Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 It sounds like you just need to use a SUBSTRING() function within your SQL statement. Look in the MySQL manual at [url=http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/string-functions.html]String Functions[/url], specifically SUBSTRING(), and see if this helps.
