In Oracle, you can use the SUBSTR and INSTR functions to extract the string before the comma.<\/p>\n

The specific steps are as follows:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Use the INSTR function to locate the position of the first comma in the string.<\/li>\n
  2. Use the SUBSTR function to retrieve the substring from the beginning of the string up to right before the comma.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Here is an example:<\/p>\n

    SELECT SUBSTR(column_name, 1, INSTR(column_name, ',')-1) AS substring\r\nFROM table_name\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
    Please replace column_name with the name of the string column to be truncated, and table_name with the corresponding table name.<\/p>\n
    This will return the substring before the comma.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
