Chapter 11. String Functions
MySQL has several built-in functions for formatting, manipulating, and analyzing strings, both user-specified and within columns of data. This chapter lists these string functions, provides the syntax of each, and gives examples of their use. The examples in this chapter use a fictitious database for a college.
String functions do not change their inputs; the functions’ return values contain the changes.
