This query and pattern will return urls in text all within a single SQL query.
select substring(column_name from '.*://([^/]*)') as domain_name from table_name;
And here it is in a larger query, say for retrieving page view counts for referrers.
select distinct(host), count(host)
from
(
select substring(referrer from '.*://([^/]*)') as host from hits
) t1
where t1.host != ''
group by host
order by count desc
;
-- host | count
