To extract a substring from a column in Oracle, you can use the SUBSTR function. Here is an example query that extracts a substring from a column named column_name in a table named table_name:

1
2
SELECT SUBSTR(column_name, start_position, length) AS extracted_string
FROM table_name;


In this query:

  • column_name is the name of the column from which you want to extract the substring.
  • start_position is the position in the column from which you want to start extracting the substring. This is a 1-based index.
  • length is the number of characters you want to extract from the column.


You can customize the start_position and length parameters to extract the desired substring from the column.
