11. 18. 1. The SUBSTR Function

The SUBSTR function returns part of a string.

The general syntax of the function is as follows:

SUBSTR(original string, begin [,how far])

An original string is to be dissected beginning at the begin character.

If 'how far' amount is not specified, then the rest of the string from the begin point is retrieved.

If begin is negative, then retrieval occurs from the right-hand side of original string.


SQL> SELECT SUBSTR('My address is 123 Fourth St.',1,12)FROM dual

  2  /



SUBSTR('MYAD

------------

My address i



SQL>
