MySQL how to extract data from one column using Substring and put to another column under same ID within same table -
let's have table people like
id | name | extracted ----------------------------------------- 1 | roger | ----------------------------------------- 2 | anthony | ----------------------------------------- 3 | maria | -----------------------------------------
we use
select substring(name, 1, 3) people.name name '%thon%'
it find "anthony" , extract 3 first chars - result : ant
how put result against same id table looks like
id | name | extracted ----------------------------------------- 1 | roger | ----------------------------------------- 2 | anthony | ant ----------------------------------------- 3 | maria | -----------------------------------------
try
update people set extracted = left(`name`,3) `name` '%thon%'
