Hey all,

I've got this list of names.
It's not a very structured list.
So my question would be how do I get this names in a
select statement and break them up in columns: first
name (is the first name in list), last name (last
one),
middle name (everything in between first and last
names)

I know that this may be done by using SUBSTR AND
INSTR.

But how?

Would you please help?

Thanks a lot.

Here is a fragment of the list of names:
