I have this SQL statement:
SELECT ID, title, date, content FROM news ORDER BY date asc LIMIT 0,10
However, I only need the first 40 characters of the content field,
which in some cases is over 5000 characters long. Is there a way to
request only the first 40 characters of a field? Thanks in advance.
LEFT(str,len) ?
