Remove the first two digit and change phonenumber format SQL

  • hi,

    I have a tableA in which PhoneNumber column have values like 911234567891.

    i want to remove the first two digits from the start i.e 1234567891 and then i want to change it to phone number format xxx-xxx-xxxx so the ending result will be 123-456-7891.

    I have already done it using seprate Select and Update query like this:

    SELECT

    [Phone Numbers]

    ,FORMAT([Phone Numbers],'###-###-####') AS [Formatted Phone]

    FROM tbl_sample

    UPDATE tbl_sample

    SET [Phone Numbers] = SUBSTRING([Phone Numbers], 3, 8000)

    WHERE [Phone Numbers] LIKE '91%'

    Is it possible to do it using single select query only so that there will be no need to update the data first?

    Any kind of help or suggestion will be appreciated.
