Text functions- Perform operation over string values.
LTRIM(str)-Returns the string str with leading space characters removed.
mysql> SELECT LTRIM(' Toolbar');
-> ‘Toolbar‘
RTRIM(str)-Returns the string str with trailing space characters removed.
mysql> SELECT RTRIM(‘Toolbar ');
-> ‘Toolbar‘
TRIM([{BOTH | LEADING | TRAILING} [remstr] FROM] str)- Returns the string str with all
remstr prefixes or suffixes removed. If none of the specifiers BOTH, LEADING, or TRAILING is
given , BOTH is assumed.
mysql> SELECT TRIM(' tool ');
-> 'bar'
mysql> SELECT TRIM(LEADING 'x' FROM 'xxxtoolxxx');
-> ‘toolxxx'
mysql> SELECT TRIM(BOTH 'x' FROM 'xxxtoolxxx');
-> ‘tool'
mysql> SELECT TRIM(TRAILING 'xyz' FROM ‘toolxxx');

- 2. SQL functions Basically, it is a set of SQL statements that accept only input parameters, perform actions and return the result. A function can return an only a single value or a table. Functions are not alternate to sql commands but are used as a part of sql command(generally select command). Types of Function(System defined) A scalar function is a function that operates on scalar values -- that is, it takes one (or more) input values as arguments directly and returns a value.Maths,text, date functions etc. These functions can be applied over column(s) of a table to perform relevant operation on value of each record. For e.g. select left(name,4) from student; Will display 4 left side letters of each row of name field from student table. An aggregate function is a function that operates on aggregate data -- that is, it takes a complete set of data as input and returns a value that is computed from all the values in the set. E.g. max(), min(), count(), sum(), avg().Generally these are used for report preparation & mostly used with group by and having clause. Visit : python.mykvs.in for regular updates
- 3. SQL functions Mathematical functions –Perform operation over numeric value POWER() – power() returns the value of a number raised to the power of another number. The synonym of power() is pow(). Syntax - pow(m,n) m A number which is the base of the exponentiation. n A number which is the exponent of the exponentiation. E.g. Mysql> select pow(2,3); Mysql>8 Mysql> select pow(2.37,3.45); Mysql>19.6282…… Visit : python.mykvs.in for regular updates
- 4. SQL functions Mathematical functions ROUND() – the round() function returns a number rounded to a certain number of decimal places. Syntax - ROUND(column_name,decimals) column_name -Required. The field to round. decimals -Required, Specifies the number of decimals to be returned. Decimal places position value is rounded to next integer ,if its next right side number is>=5 Default decimal place is 0 position if we not specify Visit : python.mykvs.in for regular updates
- 5. SQL functions Mathematical functions MOD() – The MOD() function returns the remainder of one number divided by another. The following shows the syntax of the MOD() function: Syntax - MOD(dividend,divisor) Dividend - is a literal number or a numeric expression to divide. Divisor- is a literal number or a numeric expression by which to divide the dividend. E.g. Mysql> SELECT MOD(11, 3); Mysql>2 Mysql> SELECT MOD(10.5, 3); Mysql>1.5 Visit : python.mykvs.in for regular updates
- 6. SQL functions Text functions- Perform operation over string values. UPPER() – UPPER(str) Returns the string str with all characters changed to uppercase. mysql> SELECT UPPER(‘Tej'); -> ‘TEJ' UCASE(str)-UCASE() is a synonym for UPPER(). LOWER(str)-Returns the string str with all characters changed to lowercase mysql> SELECT LOWER('QUADRATICALLY'); -> 'quadratically’ LCASE(str) LCASE() is a synonym for LOWER().

- 7. SQL functions Text functions- Perform operation over string values. SUBSTRING(str,pos) - SUBSTRING(str FROM pos), SUBSTRING(str,pos,len)- SUBSTRING(str FROM pos FOR len) The forms without a len argument return a substring from string str starting at position pos. The forms with a len argument return a substring len characters long from string str, starting at position pos. The forms that use FROM are standard SQL syntax. It is also possible to use a negative value for pos. In this case, the beginning of the substring is pos characters from the end of the string, rather than the beginning. mysql> SELECT SUBSTRING(‘practically',5); -> 'tically' mysql> SELECT SUBSTRING('foofarbar' FROM 4); -> ‘farbar' mysql> SELECT SUBSTRING('Quadratically',5,6); -> 'ratica' mysql> SELECT SUBSTRING(‘Aakila', -3); -> 'ila' mysql> SELECT SUBSTRING(‘Aakila', -5, 3); -> 'aki' mysql> SELECT SUBSTRING(‘Aakila' FROM -4 FOR 2); -> 'ki' MID(str,pos,len) MID(str,pos,len) is a synonym for SUBSTRING(str,pos,len),substr() Visit : python.mykvs.in for regular updates
- 8. SQL functions Text functions- Perform operation over string values. LENGTH(str) - Returns the length of the string str mysql> SELECT LENGTH('text'); -> 4 LEFT(str,len) - Returns the leftmost len characters from the string str, or NULL if any argument is NULL. mysql> SELECT LEFT(‘Toolbar', 4); -> ‘Tool‘ RIGHT(str,len)-Returns the rightmost len characters from the string str, or NULL if any argument is NULL. mysql> SELECT RIGHT(‘Toolbar', 3); -> 'bar' Visit : python.mykvs.in for regular updates
- 9. SQL functions Text functions- Perform operation over string values. INSTR(str,substr)-Returns the position of the first occurrencee of substring substr in string str. mysql> SELECT INSTR(‘Toobarbar', 'bar'); -> 4 mysql> SELECT INSTR('xbar', ‘ybar'); -> 0 Visit : python.mykvs.in for regular updates

- 11. SQL functions Date functions- Perform operation over date values. NOW()-Returns the current date and time as a value in 'YYYY- MM-DD hh:mm:ss' or YYYYMMDDhhmmss format, depending on whether the function is used in string or numeric context. mysql> SELECT NOW(); -> '2020-04-05 23:50:26' mysql> SELECT NOW() + 0; -> 20200415235026.000000 Here +0 means +0 second DATE(expr)-Extracts the date part of the date or datetime expression expr. mysql> SELECT DATE('2003-12-31 01:02:03'); -> '2003-12-31' Visit : python.mykvs.in for regular updates
