	)
RETURNS NVARCHAR (MAX)

Parameters

  • source: The source string.
  • startIndex: The zero-based starting character position of a substring in the source string.

Returns

A string that is equivalent to the substring of length that begins at startIndex in the source string, or Empty if startIndex is equal to the length of this instance and length is zero.

Example

String_Substring4k

It is equivalent to String_Substring except no NVARCHAR(MAX) parameters; it can be used when input data will never be over 4000 characters as this function offers better performance.

String_Substring4k (

	@startIndex INT,
	@length INT
	)
RETURNS NVARCHAR (4000)

Example

SELECT SQLNET::String_Substring4k('Name: Felica Walker', 6, 13)
