I have a sql query in which I need to isolate part of the columm value
and return only that isolated portion. I can only do this within the
select statement, and cannot add a function or anything like that. I
would also like to keep this query within sql (I don't want to do this
in my programming environment)
The string value would normally look like "segment1-segment2-segment3".
I need to isolate segment2, but I have to be able to account for
situations in which either one or both dashes are missing (in which
case returning "" or the whole string is OK. The best I have been able
to do reliably is to get "segment2-segment3".
Anybody want to take a stab?
