How do I break a column data into 2 or more columns.
Example, I have a 7 character column that I want to break into 3 columns of 3,2 and 2 character respectively. Let me know how the query would look like.
ThanksYou could use left(), substring() functions:
select left(column,2), substring(column,3,2),...|||Don't forget RIGHT
USE Northwind
GO
CREATE TABLE myTable99 (Col1 char(7))
GO
INSERT INTO myTable99(Col1)
SELECT '1234567' UNION ALL
SELECT 'abcdefg' UNION ALL
SELECT 'qwertyu' UNION ALL
SELECT 'lkjhgfd' UNION ALL
SELECT '1212312'
SELECT LEFT(Col1,2) AS [Left]
, SUBSTRING(Col1,3,3) AS Center
, RIGHT(Col1,2) AS [Right]
FROM myTable99
GO
DROP TABLE myTable99
GO|||Don't forget about your bol - check out string functions.
