I’m trying to get all records where I have a column concatenated with a :
.
SELECT serName FROM tblService WHERE serBqtID=1;
The data stored in table as like this:
serName serStatus ------- --------- catering Available Stage Available Projector Available Segreg:extra Available DJ:extra Available
I want to get below results by removing :extra
from column in query:
serName serStatus ------- --------- Segreg Available DJ Available
I’m not sure what should I do with my above query.

Answer
For SQL Server, you would do:
select left(t.serName, charindex(':', t.serName + ':') - 1) as serName, . . . from tblService t where t.serBqtID = 1 and t.serName like '%:%';
You can find the columns using:
select t.* from tblService t where t.serBqtID = 1 and t.serName like '%:%';
The original tag on the question was MySQL, where you can use substring_index()
:
select substring_index(t.serName, ':', 1) as serName, . . . from tblService t where t.serBqtID = 1 and t.serName like '%:%';
