I want to find the difference between two strings in MySQL. Say, if two strings like nishant and nisha are input, then 'nt' should be output.
解决方案set @string2 :="nishant";
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)
set @string1 := "nisha";
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)
select @string1, @string2;
+----------+----------+
| @string1 | @string2 |
+----------+----------+
| nisha | nishant |
+----------+----------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
select if(length(@string1)>length(@string2), replace(@string1, @string2,""), replace(@string2, @string1, "")) as "The Difference";
+----------------+
| The Difference |
+----------------+
| nt |
+----------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
