I have a SQL SERVER column named full_url of type nvarchar(1000). Sample string look like a classic web url:
http://www.example.com/folder/subfolder/somemorefolder/document.txt
What i need is, that i can execute a SQL Statement which removes the last "/" and everything after this char, so that the result looks like this:
http://www.example.com/folder/subfolder/somemorefolder
I found a solution for MySQL but this does not work for SQL Server:
SELECT TRIM(TRAILING CONCAT('/',SUBSTRING_INDEX(path, '/', -1)) FROM path)
FROM my_table;
I have also tried this SQL Statement, but this also didnt work:
SELECT SUBSTRING([full_url ], len([full_url ]) - charindex('/', reverse([full_url ]))) from myTable
>Solution :
Your CHARINDEX()
trick, with the help of REVERSE()
, can work with some modification:
SELECT
full_url,
REVERSE(SUBSTRING(REVERSE(full_url),
CHARINDEX('/', REVERSE(full_url)) + 1,
LEN(full_url))
) AS partial_url
FROM yourTable;
