MySQL- INDEX(): How to Create a Functional Key Part Using Last nth Characters?

By -

How would I write the INDEX() statement to use the last Nth characters of a functional keypart? I'm brand new to SQL/MySQL, and believe that's the proper verbiage of my question. explanation of what I'm looking for is below.

The MySQL 8.0 Ref Manual explains how to use the first nth characters, showing that the secondary index using col2's first 10 characters, via example:

CREATE TABLE t1 (
  col1 VARCHAR(40),
  col2 VARCHAR(30),
  INDEX (col1, col2(10))
);

However, I would like to know how one could form this using the ending characters? Perhaps something like:

...
 INDEX ((RIGHT (col2,3)));
);

However, I think that says to index over a column called 'xyz' instead of "put an index on each column value using the last 3 of 30 potential characters"? That's what I'm really trying to figure out.

For some context, it'd be helpful to index something with smooshed/mixed data and am playing around as to how such a thing could be accomplished. Example of the kind of data I'm talking about, below, is a simplified, adjusted version of exported data from an inventory/billing manager that hails from the 90's that I had to endure some years back...:

Col1 Col2
GP6500012_SALES_FY2023_SBucks_503_Thurs R-DK_Sumat__SKU-503-20230174
GP6500012_SALES_FY2023_SBucks_607_Mon R-MD_Columb__SKU-607-2023035
GP6500012_SALES_FY2023_SBucks_627_Mon-pm R-BLD_House__SKU-503-20230024
GP6500012_SALES_FY2023_SBucks_929_Wed R-FR_Ethp__SKU-929-20230324

Undoubtedly, better options exist that bypass this question altogether- and I'll presumably learn those techniques with time in my data analytics coursework. For now, I'm just curious if it's possible to somehow index the rows by suffix instead of prefix, and what a code example would look like to accomplish that. TIA.

Spring Elasticsearch Operations

By -
Elasticsearch Operations Spring Data Elasticsearch uses two interfaces to define the operations that can be called against an Elasticsearch index. These are ElasticsearchOperations and ReactiveElasticsearchOperations. Whereas the first is used with the classic synchronous implementations, the second one uses reactive infrastructure. The default implementations of the interfaces offer: Read/Write mapping support for domain types. A rich query and criteria api. Resource management and Exception translation. ElasticsearchTemplate The ElasticsearchTemplate is an implementation of the ElasticsearchOperations interface using the Transport Client. @Configuration public class TransportClientConfig extends ElasticsearchConfigurationSupport {   @Bean   public Client elasticsearchClient() throws UnknownHostException {                      Settings settings = Settings.builder().put("cluster.name", "elasticsearch")....

Hibernate Search - Elasticsearch with JSON manipulation

By -
Elasticsearch with JSON manipulation Elasticsearch ships with many features. It is possible that at some point, one feature you need will not be exposed by the Search DSL. To work around such limitations, Hibernate Search provides ways to: Transform the HTTP request sent to Elasticsearch for search queries. Read the raw JSON of the HTTP response received from Elasticsearch for search queries. Direct changes to the HTTP request may conflict with Hibernate Search features and be supported differently by different versions of Elasticsearch. Similarly, the content of the HTTP response may change depending on the version of Elasticsearch, depending on which Hibernate Search features are used, and even depending on how Hibernate Search features are implemented. Thus, features relying on direct access to HTTP requests or responses cannot be guaranteed to continue to work when upgrading Hibernate Search, even for micro upgrades (x.y.z to x.y.(z+1)). Use this at your own risk....
