Table in SQLITE, want to simple way to delete everything to a right of a set phrase/character in the Company_name_ column, in this case everything after "LLC":
Company_name_ |
---|
Example LLC $42 |
Example llc,klp |
Example LLc jim |
becomes
Company_name_ |
---|
Example LLC |
Example llc |
Example LLc |
Tried Set Charindex and Substr but getting syntax errors. Thank you
You can do it with string functions SUBSTR()
and INSTR()
.
If you want a SELECT
query use a CASE
expression with the operator LIKE
to check if the column value contains 'LLC'
or not:
SELECT CASE
WHEN Company_name_ LIKE '%LLC%'
THEN SUBSTR(
Company_name_,
1,
INSTR(UPPER(Company_name_), 'LLC') + LENGTH('LLC') - 1
)
ELSE Company_name_
END Company_name_
FROM tablename;
If you want to update the table:
UPDATE tablename
SET Company_name_ = SUBSTR(
Company_name_,
1,
INSTR(UPPER(Company_name_), 'LLC') + LENGTH('LLC') - 1
)
WHERE Company_name_ LIKE '%LLC%';
See the demo.
