Remove numbers from the right of a string in SQL

Question

Is there a function in SQL to remove numbers from the right (in this case, its year) of a string. For example:

Honda elantra - 2019
Ford Mustang - 2017/2018

and the results would just be:

Honda elantra
Ford Mustang

Answer 1

It looks like you want everything before the hyphen -- or ' - ' .

You can use substring_index() :

select substring_index(col, ' - ', 1)
