Project table contains salesman names and percents as shown
below. Single comment column contains 1-2 salesman names and commissions.
How select normalized data from this table ?
Andrus.
CREATE TABLE project (
id char(10) primary key,
comment char(254)
);
insert into test values ('2010-12', 'Aavo 19%, Peedu 15%');
insert into test values ('2010-22', 'Lauri-21%,Peedu 15%');
insert into test values ('2011-33', 'Taavi 21%');
How to create select statement in Postgresql 8.1.23 which
selects this data as normalized table like
CREATE TABLE commission (
projectid char(10),
salesman char(5),
commission n(2) )
result using data above should be
'2010-12', 'Aavo', 19
'2010-12', 'Peedu', 15
'2010-22', 'Lauri', 21
'2010-22', 'Peedu', 15
'2011-33', 'Taavi', 21
Regular Expressions are your friend here. If you do not know them you should learn them; though if you ask nicely someone may just provide you the solution you need.
Split-to-array and unnest may work as well.
All this said, you are currently using an unsupported version of PostgreSQL and I do not know what specific functionality you have to work with.
