Split a column in 2 columns using comma as separator - MySQL
For this, you can use substring_index() in MySQL. Let us create a table −
Example
mysql> create table demo79 -> ( -> fullname varchar(50) -> ); Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.64
Insert some records into the table with the help of insert command −
Example
mysql> insert into demo79 values("John,Smith");
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.09
mysql> insert into demo79 values("David,Miller");
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.11
mysql> insert into demo79 values("Chris,Brown");
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.07Display records from the table using select statement −
Example
mysql> select *from demo79;
This will produce the following output −
Output
+--------------+ | fullname |+--------------+
| John,Smith || David,Miller |
| Chris,Brown |+--------------+
3 rows in set (0.00 sec)
Following is the query to split a column in 2 columns using comma as separator −
Example
mysql> select -> fullname, -> substring_index(fullname, ',', 1) First_Name, -> substring_index(fullname, ',', -1) Last_Name -> from demo79;
This will produce the following output −
Output
| fullname | First_Name | Last_Name |
+--------------+------------+-----------+| John,Smith | John | Smith |
| David,Miller | David | Miller || Chris,Brown | Chris | Brown |
+--------------+------------+-----------+3 rows in set (0.00 sec)
