Hi all,

Just wondering if someone can assist me with the following issue.

I have a database in MySQL and I'm using PHPMyAdmin to interact with the database.

So within the table example_table_name I have two columns product_item_short and product_item_long which have URL's in them. Now there is 3000 rows of data and as an example the URL in each start data/image/someimage.png.

In both columns I need to remove the data/ and I would like to know how I could so this in SQL.

Many thanks

russell

you want the replace() function.

by the way, this is a Microsoft SQL Server Forum. Might have better luck in general for mysql questions on a mySQL forum.

Hi,

Yes, I have resolved that with the SUBSTR() function.

Thanks
