RIGHT function in SQL Server

The article will explore and guide you how to use the RIGHT function in SQL Server to extract some characters from the right side of a given string.

Describe

The RIGHT function in SQL Server allows you to extract a substring from a large string, starting from the rightmost character.

Syntax

To use the RIGHT function in SQL Server, we use the following syntax:

 RIGHT(chuoi, so_ky_tu) 

Parameters :

1. chuoi: can be a string, variable or column that you want to extract.
2. so_ky_tu: a positive integer that specifies the number of characters that will be returned from the cycle, starting with the rightmost character .

Note :

1. If so_ky_tu exceeds the length of the string, RIGHT returns the original string.
2. See also LEFT function with the same function but on the left side.
3. RIGHT function can be used in later versions of SQL Server: SQL Server 2017, SQL Server 2016, SQL Server 2014, SQL Server 2012, SQL Server 2008 R2, SQL Server 2008, and SQL Server 2005.
