How to parse a bulk loaded table into individual fields in another table?
I am fairly new to SQL Server and the statement syntax
I have data that was bulk loaded into a SQL table 'SQNA_NameAddress_BulkLoad ' There is only 1 field defined in that table 'NABulkLoad nchar(130).
I now want to break apart the individual fields into table 'SQNA_NameAddress_Import'. This is the definition of SQNA_NameAddress_Import
IN the bulk record the fields contained are
Pos 1 - 7 ControlNumber
Pos 8 - 10 SequenceNumber
Pos 11 - 40 AddrLine1
Pos 41 - 70 AddrLine2
Pos 71 - 100 AddrLine3
Pos 101 - 130 AddrLine4
It would seem that I could do this with a insert statement that pulls pieces of the bulk import record and loads them directly into the 'Import' table but I'm not sure how to do that.
I think it would be something like this but I know the substring syntax isn't even close.
Insert Into SQNA_NameAddress_Import ( ControlNumber, SequenceNumber, AddrLine1,AddrLine2, AddrLine3, AddrLine4 )
w.substring(NABulkLoad, 1,7) .............
From SQNA_NameAddress_BulkLoad w
Does anyone know the syntax that would work?
