Parse Fields

Hi there,

I am re-organizing the database. We used to have field 'names' in our
table for our first name and last name. However, I want to have those
names in different field.

FYI, I have two different tables in different databases. The A
database contains A table with 'names" field. The B database contains
B table with 'fname' and 'lname' I want to copy data A table to B
table.

How can I parse names field into first name and last name fields?

Here are some examples which are in the database.
(
id names
01 John Doe
02 John & Jane Doe
03 Mr & Mrs Doe
) something like this. It might contain '&' and two names. If there
are two names, then use first name.


Thanks guys,
