MySQL RIGHT() Function

 The RIGHT() function in MySQL is used to extract a specified number of characters from the right (end) side of a string.

Syntax:

RIGHT(string, length)
  • string: The string from which you want to extract characters.
  • length: The number of characters you want to extract from the right end of the string.

Example Usage:

  1. Basic Example:
SELECT RIGHT('Hello World', 5);

This will return:

World
  1. Using with a Column:
SELECT RIGHT(name, 3) FROM employees;

This will extract the last 3 characters from the name column of the employees table.

  1. Using with a Numeric String:
SELECT RIGHT('123456', 3);

This will return:

456

The RIGHT() function can be useful when you need to extract suffixes or handle right-side substrings of a string.
