In my sql database I have a table like “REG_DET”, This table mainly include 3 data member. NAME,AGE,SSN. Here SSN is a string include more than 10 character. Here my problem is when i read SSN from the table i need only last 4 character that is

Eg. Rohith , 25 , 1023456457

result only include Rohith , 25 ,6457(last 4 character of SSN)

Is It possible to do it in a sql select query(at the time of selection). If anyone know pls help me

Answer 1

You can use RIGHT function:

SELECT NAME,
       AGE,
       RIGHT(SSN, 4) As SSN_Short
FROM REG_DET

(assuming that you’re using SQL-Server or MySQL)

Edit: Since you’re using TEXT, you need to conver it to VARCHAR first:

SELECT NAME,
       AGE,
       RIGHT(CONVERT(VARCHAR(8000),SSN)), 4) As SSN_Short
FROM REG_DET
