For example I have one SQL Server database that contains a table
Id Address
1 England,London,someaddress
2 Germany,Berlin,someaddress2
And I have another SQL Server database that contains following table with scheme
Id Country City Address
I need transfer data from first database to second. Like this.
id Country City Address
1 England London someaddress
2 Germany Berlin someaddress2
How can I do that?
You can do that by creating a User Define Function
that detect Country
, City
, Address
by Splitting and than insert into second table.
Split Function :
CREATE FUNCTION [dbo].[Split](@String varchar(8000), @Delimiter char(1))
returns @temptable TABLE (id int , items varchar(8000))
as
begin
declare @idx int
declare @id int
declare @slice varchar(8000)
set @id = 1
select @idx = 1
if len(@String)<1 or @String is null return
while @idx!= 0
begin
set @idx = charindex(@Delimiter,@String)
if @idx!=0
set @slice = left(@String,@idx - 1)
else
set @slice = @String
if(len(@slice)>0)
begin
insert into @temptable(id, Items) values( @id , @slice)
set @id = @id + 1
end
set @String = right(@String,len(@String) - @idx)
if len(@String) = 0 break
end
return
end
then use in Insert Query like this :
INSERT INTO NewTbl
SELECT .... ,
(SELECT ITEMS FROM dbo.Split(Address) where id = 1) as Country,
(SELECT ITEMS FROM dbo.Split(Address) where id = 2) as City,
(SELECT ITEMS FROM dbo.Split(Address) where id = 3) as Address,
...
