I'm trying to separate a string into 3 values: The string is:
mystr1~mystr2~mystr3

Here is the code so far:
1 select substr(subject,1,instr(subject,'~')-1) first, 2 substr(subject,instr(subject,'~')+1, instr(subject,'~',1,2)-1) second, 3 substr(subject,instr(subject,'~',1,2)+1,length(subject)) 4 from test_table
5 where test_column=1700455

The result I get is:
mystr1
mystr2~mystr3
mystr3

The result I want is:
mystr1
mystr2
Mystr3
