Subject: SELECT substring with regex
Date: Fri, 07 Jul 2006 14:51:28 +0100
Message-ID: <44AE66E0.1040606@numerixtechnology.de> (raw)

I would like to split the contents of a column using substring with a 
regular expression:

SELECT
  substring (NAME, '^\\d+mm') as BASE_NAME,
  substring (NAME, ??? ) as SUFFIX
FROM MODEL

The column contains something like
"150mm LD AD Asp XR Macro"
I want to split this into
"150mm", "LD AD Asp XR Macro"

How can I extract the bit following the matching substring?

-- 


Regards,

Tarlika Elisabeth Schmitz
