create table foo(a serial, b text);
select a, substr(b,1,strpos(b,' ')-1) as firstname, substr(b,strpos(b,'
')+1) as lastname into bar from foo;
will create a table bar. You will need to add your own sequences etc. later.
Note - CHECK YOUR NAMES FIRST - this will only work with exactly two names
separated by one space.
