Description

The STRRIGHT function returns a specified number of characters from the right side of a string. The length is measured in UTF8 characters.

Alias

RIGHT

Syntax

STRRIGHT(<str>, <len>)

Parameters

Parameter	Description
<str>	The string to extract from. Type: VARCHAR
<len>	The number of characters to return. Type: INT

Return Value

Returns VARCHAR type, representing the extracted substring.

Special cases:

• Returns NULL if any argument is NULL
• If len is negative, returns the substring starting from the abs(len)th character from the right
• Returns the entire string if len is greater than the string length

Examples

1. Basic right extraction

SELECT STRRIGHT('Hello doris', 5), RIGHT('Hello doris', 5);

+----------------------------+------------------------+
| STRRIGHT('Hello doris', 5) | RIGHT('Hello doris', 5) |
+----------------------------+------------------------+
| doris                      | doris                  |
+----------------------------+------------------------+

2. Different extraction lengths

SELECT STRRIGHT('Hello World', 3), STRRIGHT('Hello World', 8);

+-----------------------------+-----------------------------+
| STRRIGHT('Hello World', 3)  | STRRIGHT('Hello World', 8)  |
+-----------------------------+-----------------------------+
| rld                         | lo World                    |
+-----------------------------+-----------------------------+

3. NULL value handling

SELECT STRRIGHT(NULL, 5), STRRIGHT('Hello doris', NULL);

+-------------------+-------------------------------+
| STRRIGHT(NULL, 5) | STRRIGHT('Hello doris', NULL) |
+-------------------+-------------------------------+
| NULL              | NULL                          |
+-------------------+-------------------------------+

4. Empty string and zero length

SELECT STRRIGHT('', 5), STRRIGHT('Hello World', 0);

+-------------------+-----------------------------+
| STRRIGHT('', 5)   | STRRIGHT('Hello World', 0)  |
+-------------------+-----------------------------+
|                   |                             |
+-------------------+-----------------------------+

5. Negative length handling

SELECT STRRIGHT('Hello doris', -7), STRRIGHT('Hello doris', -5);

+-----------------------------+-----------------------------+
| STRRIGHT('Hello doris', -7) | STRRIGHT('Hello doris', -5) |
+-----------------------------+-----------------------------+
| doris                       | o doris                     |
+-----------------------------+-----------------------------+

6. Length exceeds string length

SELECT STRRIGHT('ABC', 10), STRRIGHT('short', 20);

+---------------------+-----------------------+
| STRRIGHT('ABC', 10) | STRRIGHT('short', 20) |
+---------------------+-----------------------+
| ABC                 | short                 |
+---------------------+-----------------------+

7. UTF-8 multi-byte characters

SELECT STRRIGHT('ṭṛì ḍḍumai hello', 5), STRRIGHT('ṭṛì ḍḍumai hello', 11);

+----------------------------------+-----------------------------------+
| STRRIGHT('ṭṛì ḍḍumai hello', 5)  | STRRIGHT('ṭṛì ḍḍumai hello', 11) |
+----------------------------------+-----------------------------------+
| hello                            | ḍumai hello                       |
+----------------------------------+-----------------------------------+

8. Numeric string handling

SELECT STRRIGHT('123456789', 3), STRRIGHT('ID_987654321', 6);

+----------------------------+-------------------------------+
| STRRIGHT('123456789', 3)   | STRRIGHT('ID_987654321', 6)   |
+----------------------------+-------------------------------+
| 789                        | 654321                        |
+----------------------------+-------------------------------+

9. Email domain extraction

SELECT STRRIGHT('user@example.com', 11), STRRIGHT('admin@company.org.cn', 14);

+----------------------------------+--------------------------------------+
| STRRIGHT('user@example.com', 11) | STRRIGHT('admin@company.org.cn', 14) |
+----------------------------------+--------------------------------------+
| example.com                      | company.org.cn                      |
