Answer 1

You haven't specified what database server you are using.
Either way, you need to search for a replace function.
In SQL Server, the function is replace, you can find the definition here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/es-es/library/ms186862(v=sql.105).aspx
Your query will look like this in SQL Server:
Select replace(subquery.path,'Mb\Dbi','') AS Name, subquery.path as Value from (Select distinct path from {yourtable}) subquery

Answer 2

If You also want to generate the Serial Number:
SELECT (ROW_NUMBER() OVER ( ORDER BY [Path])) AS [Sr.]
,REPLACE ([Path],'Mb\Dbi','') AS [Name]}
,[Path] AS [Value]}
FROM tbl_PathValues
Or you can have the target table with a column predefined as an Identity column.

Answer 3

Try something like:
SELECT RIGHT(Value, (SELECT LENGTH(Value) - 6))

Answer 4

Try somthing like this,
SELECT RIGHT(DB.Path,SELECT LENGTH(DB.Path) - 6) AS 'Name', DB.Path AS 'Value' FROM DB;

Answer 5

You need to insert your data into Database by escaping '\'. Further following query will solve your problem:
Solution is for MySQL
SELECT #rownum := #rownum + 1 AS 'Sr.',SUBSTRING(path, 8) AS `name`, path AS VALUE FROM test_path, (SELECT #rownum := 0) r;
Hope it helps...
