Introduction:

Description:

In previous post I explained concatenate row values into string and substring function example to replace particular of string in SQL Server and many articles relating to SQL Server.

Here I want to remove first character from string and need to get remaining string values for that we need to write a query like as show below

Syntax to Remove First character from string


SELECT SUBSTRING(ColumnName,2,(LEN(ColumnName))) FROM TABLENAME
Ex:


DECLARE @name NVARCHAR(MAX)
SET @name=',SureshDasari,MaheshD,MadhavS,PrasanthiD'
SELECT Substring(@name, 2, (len(@name))) as UserNames
OutPut
