MySQL string function

For operations on string positions, the first position is marked as 1.

ASCII(str)

Returns the str ASCII code value of the leftmost character of the string. If str It is an empty string, return 0 . If str Yes NULL , return NULL .

Mysql> Select ASCII (' 2 ');
        50
Mysql> Select ASCII (2);
        50
Mysql> Select ASCII (' DX ');
        100

You can also see the Ord () function.

ORD(str)

If the leftmost character of the string str is a multibyte character, the ((first byte ASCII code)*256+(second byte ASCII code))[*256+third byte ASCII code...] multibyte character code is returned by the ASCII code value that returns the character in the format. If the leftmost character is not a multi-byte character. Returns ASCII() the same value returned from the function.

Mysql> Select ORD (' 2 ');
        50

CONV(N,from_base,to_base)

The numbers are transformed between different digital bases. Returns a numeric N string number, from the from_base base transform to the to_base base, if any argument is NULL , is returned NULL . Parameters are N interpreted as an integer, but can be specified as an integer or as a string. The minimum base is 2 and the largest base is 36 . If to_base it is a negative number, it is considered to be N a signed count, otherwise, it is N treated as an unsigned number. CONVwork with 64-bit precision.

Mysql> Select CHAR (77,77.3, ' 77.3 ');
        ' MMM '

CONCAT(str1,str2,...)

Returns the string from the parameter link . If any of the parameters are NULL , return NULL . There can be more than 2 parameters. A numeric parameter is transformed into an equivalent string form.

Mysql> Select CONCAT (' My ', ' S ', ' QL ');
        ' MySQL '

Mysql> Select FIELD (' fo ', ' Hej ', ' ej ', ' Heja ', ' Hej ', ' foo ');
        0

FIND_IN_SET(str,strlist)

If the string str is in N a table made up of substrings strlist , returns a 1 value to it N . A string table is “,” a string that consists of delimited substrings. If the first argument is a constant string and the second argument is a SET column of type, the FIND_IN_SET() function is optimized and the bitwise operation is used! If str it is not strlist inside or if strlist it is an empty string, return 0 . If any one of the arguments is NULL , return NULL . If the first parameter contains one “,” , the function will not work correctly.

mysql> SELECT find_in_set (' B ', ' a,b,c,d ');
        2

MAKE_SET(bits,str1,str2,...)

Returns a collection that contains “,” a string of substrings separated by characters, consisting of a string of corresponding bits in the bits collection. str1corresponds to bit 0, str2 corresponds to bit 1, and so on. In str1 , str2 the ... string in is NULL not added to the result.

Mysql> SELECT make_set (1, ' A ', ' B ', ' C ');
        ' A '
Mysql> SELECT make_set (1 | 4, ' hello ', ' nice ', ' world ');
        ' Hello,world '
mysql> SELECT make_set (0, ' a ', ' B ', ' C ');
        ""

EXPORT_SET(bits,on,off,[separator,[number_of_bits]])

returns a string where you get an "on" string for each bit in "bits", and for each reset (reset) bit, you get a "off" string. Each string is delimited with "separator" (Default ","), and only "bits" of "number_of_bits" (default 64) bits are used.

Mysql> Select Export_set (5, ' Y ', ' N ', ', ', 4)
        

LCASE(str)

　

LOWER(str)

returns a string str that changes all characters to lowercase based on the current character set mapping (the default is Iso-8859-1 Latin1). This function is reliable for multiple bytes.

Mysql> Select LCASE (' quadratically ');
        ' Quadratically '

UCASE(str)

　

UPPER(str)

returns a string str that changes all characters to uppercase based on the current character set mapping (the default is Iso-8859-1 Latin1). This function is reliable for multiple bytes.

Mysql> Select UCASE (' Hej ');
        ' HEJ '

This function is reliable for multiple bytes.

LOAD_FILE(file_name)

Reads the file and returns the file contents as a string. The file must be on the server, you must specify the full path name to the file, and you must have file permissions. The file must have all the contents readable and less than max_allowed_packet . If the file does not exist or because one of the above reasons cannot be read, the function returns NULL .

Mysql> UPDATE table_name
           SET blob_column=load_file ("/tmp/picture")
           WHERE id=1;

MySQL automatically transforms numbers into strings when necessary, and vice versa:

Mysql> Select 1+ "1";
        2
Mysql> SELECT CONCAT (2, ' test ');
        ' 2 test '

If you want to explicitly transform a number into a string, pass it as an argument CONCAT() .

If a string function provides a binary string as a parameter, the resulting string is also a binary string. A number that is transformed into a string is treated as a binary string. This only affects comparisons.
