Question

The items in one column name

Tritton AX 180: Universal Gaming Headset (PS3/Xbox 360/PC/Mac)
Rome: Total War - White Label (PC DVD)
Railworks3 - Train Simulator 2012 (PC)

I would like to get :

Tritton AX 180: Universal Gaming Headset
Rome: Total War - White Label
Railworks3 - Train Simulator 2012

I have looked into replace()

Answer 1

DECLARE @s VARCHAR(100) = 
       'Tritton AX 180: Universal Gaming Headset (PS3/Xbox 360/PC/Mac)'

SELECT SUBSTRING(@s, 0, CHARINDEX('(',@s))

So if your column name is name then

SELECT SUBSTRING(name, 0, CHARINDEX('(',name) )
