I have a field in a SQL table that looks like this.
dbfs:/mnt/rawvtogetdata/2019/06/30/placemt/CZZZ0630.M.00308286.txt
It’s literally a file name. I’d need to create 3 new fields and split the string shown above into this.
Mth Dy Fl 06 30 CZZZ0630.M.00308286.txt
How can I do that?
I have this basic SQL that does the select and parsing, but I’m not sure how to do the insert into.
Select *, SUBSTRING(filename, 30, 2) AS Mth, SUBSTRING(filename, 33, 2) AS Dy, SUBSTRING(filename, 44, 99) AS Fl from REUTERS_CPDG_2019
I am in SQL Server 2019.

Answer
Assuming these are the names of the new columns, I would just go for:
UPDATE REUTERS_CPDG_2019 SET Mth = SUBSTRING(filename, 30, 2), Dy = SUBSTRING(filename, 33, 2), Fl = SUBSTRING(filename, 44, 99);
