Hi! Good morning!

I have a varchar variable that have inside something like 8:50. I need to broke it and cast each part into two integer
variables(x=8 and y=50). 
If someone know how to do this please tell me to this mail if possible.

Thank's a lot,

Alexandra

I think you can do something like
SELECT split_part('8:50', ':', 1), split_part('8:50', ':', 2);
