PostgreSQL – LENGTH Function
The LENGTH()
function is used to retrieve the length (number of characters) of a string. It takes a string as an argument and returns an integer representing the length of the string.
The syntax of the LENGTH()
function is as follows:
LENGTH(string)
where string
is the input string for which you want to determine the length.
Here’s a simple example of how to use the LENGTH()
function in PostgreSQL:
SELECT LENGTH('Hello, World!') AS string_length;
In this example, the LENGTH()
function calculates the length of the string “Hello, World!” and returns the result, which would be 13.
