I have a field CRSE containing information "COGS 101" in table
fmcontract_course_assignment
I want to break the field in to two parts based on space and put them into new two fields:CourseSubject, CourseNumber.
1) First I create new two fields:
ADD `CourseSubject` VARCHAR(50) NULL DEFAULT NULL , ADD `CourseNumber` VARCHAR(16) NULL DEFAULT NULL ;
2) Update these two news field from split of filed CRSE:
Note:UPDATE
`fmcontract_course_assignment` SET `
CourseSubject` = IF( LOCATE(' ', `
CRSE
`) > 0, SUBSTRING(`
CRSE
`, 1, LOCATE(' ', `
CRSE
`) - 1), `
CRSE
` ), `CourseNumber` = IF( LOCATE(' ', `
CRSE
`) > 0, SUBSTRING(`
CRSE
`, LOCATE(' ', `
CRSE
`) + 1), NULL );
- CRSE values without a space: it will add the whole string to memberfirst and sets CourseNumber to NULL.
- CRSE values that have multiple spaces: it will add everything before the first space to CourseSubject and the remainder (including additional spaces) to CourseNumber.
