Table Users:
ID,Email, Username, Password

USERNAME@email.com

I want to select the EMAIL field and select only the USERNAME, and put it into Username.

Hence I need to parse the email address and use the @ as the delimiter.

Any Ideas?

Thank you!

I went ahead and looked the SUBSTR and INSTR functions up at and found this link:

http://www.psoug.org/reference/substr_instr.html

This is how to return the username:

SELECT SUBSTR('yourname@email.com', 1 ,INSTR('yourname@email.com', '@', 1, 1)-1)
FROM dual;
