Extracting Zip Code

Asked by Shweeta in Microsoft Access Database

Tags:

Hi,

I want to frame a sql query for extracting zip code.

I have 3 fields - addr1, addr2, addr3.

I want to search in the priority, addr3, addr2, addr1. The zip code should be of the format 99999-9999.

where 9 can be any digit.

I could search for one field like  substr(addr3, instr (addr3, '-')-5, 10).

This would give me the extracted code. But now, I want to check if these are all numbers and if so, consider it as zip code. If not, I want to proceed with the same thing for addr2 and then addr1. How can i do it in a single query?

Thanks,
