Length of data stored in columnFor example, we are storing titles for an image in a MySQL table. We have assigned 100 as the length of this varchar field. Here 100 is the maximum length of title allowed but it is not always that we will be using a total of 100 characters. So how to know how many characters we have used? Now let us find out the length of the title used for the image with id 47. Here is the query
Without giving any where clause we can display the length of all the titles along with the title for the total table. Let us try to find out what are the titles using maximum space or the titles of maximum length. This will display records with maximum character in the title field. This we will manage by using sql order by clause. Check this query.
