Summary
There are more string functions available in MySQL and MariaDB. A few of the functions
mentioned here have aliases or close alternatives. There are also functions for converting
between ASCII, binary, hexadecimal, and octal strings. And there are also string functions
related to text encryption and decryption that were not mentioned. However, I think this
chapter has given you a good collection of common string functions that will assist you in
building more powerful SQL statements and formatting results to be more attractive.
