How to concatenate these two statements (RIGHT and LEFT)? I am trying to trim two characters off both the beginning and end of cell
3 is the first position after the first 2 chars are removed. The length is reduced by 2 chars in the beginning + 2 characters at the end.

select MID(wp_postmeta.meta_value, 3, LENGTH(wp_postmeta.meta_value) -4 ) ...
