Sqlite Create new columns from column containing ;

Question

I have a database test.db with the first column containing 123456;abcdef;ghijk etc. Is it possible to split the data into its own colums?

Answer 1

There is no built-in SQLite function that can split strings like this.

If your are using the SQLite C API or a wrapper like APSW, you could create your own function (C, APSW).

If you want to do nothing more than a one-time conversion, export/import through a text file would be the simplest solution.
