Answer 1

We have stored the value of course Name and chapter name in single column ChapterName.

Value stored like : " JAVA : Polymorphism "

you need to retrieve CourseName : JAVA and ChapterName : Polymorphism

Below is the SQL select query to retrieve .

       SELECT   
          SUBSTRING_INDEX(SUBSTRING_INDEX(ChapterName, ' ', 1), ' ', -1) AS 
       CourseName,

       REPLACE(TRIM(SUBSTR(ChapterName, LOCATE(':', ChapterName)) ),':','') AS 
       ChapterName
       FROM Courses where `id`=1;

Please let me know if any question on this.
