I have a table like this:
CREATE TABLE `mytable` (
`id` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
`column1` varchar(255) COLLATE utf8_unicode_ci NOT NULL,
`column2` varchar(255) COLLATE utf8_unicode_ci NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`id`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8 COLLATE=utf8_unicode_ci
And some data:
id | column1 | column2
____________________________________________________________
1 | Something |
2 | Something else - Lets add more data |
3 | Something else - Another example - More stuff |
I would like to update this table, by putting everything after the first -
(space + dash + space) into column2 and then removing it from column 1. If there is no -
, leave it as it is. Such as this:
id | column1 | column2
__________________________________________________
1 | Something |
2 | Something else | Lets add more data
3 | Something else | Another example - More stuff
Any suggestions?
