Is there a better way to write the update? I thought about something
like this (but couldn't get it working - guess I don't have the right
syntax):
update t1 set domainname=(select id, SUBSTRING(emailaddress FROM
POSITION('@' IN emailaddress)) from table t2) AS t2 where t1.id=t2.id
test=# select * from foo;
id | mail | domain
----+-------------+--------
1 | [EMAIL PROTECTED] |
2 | [EMAIL PROTECTED] |
(2 rows)
test=*# update foo set domain=SUBSTRING(mail FROM (POSITION('@' IN
mail)+1));
That's what my original query is (apart from the +1 at the end) ;)
I was just trying to approach it differently with the other attempt.
