How can one query data of a specific length with Oracle…
You can use the SUBSTR function in Oracle to query data of a specified length.
The grammar is as follows:
The syntax is outlined as follows:
SUBSTR(string, start_position, length)
Parameter description:
- String: the string that needs to be truncated.
- The starting position for extraction, counted from 1.
- length: the desired length to be cut.
Assume there is a table named employees with a field named name, and if you want to query the first 5 characters in the name field, you can use the following SQL statement:
SELECT SUBSTR(name, 1, 5) FROM employees;
This way, you can retrieve the first 5 characters of the name field.
