I have imported a name list (about 200 000 names ) from an Excel DFB-file. For some reason the the first and last name are put together without space like 'AndersSvensson'.
They are all like that.
I can't figure out how to split the name into First name and Last name or insert a space.
Can it be done through SQL?

Looking forward to the reply.
 
if the Second name always start with capital letter then you can do it , i know how to do it through excel vba
if you know how to read from cell then good, if you don't then please review this post of me

i have explained how to read cells and write them to another excel sheet

now you'll have to do this

dim nStringCounter as integer
dim szString,szNewString as string
nStringCounter =1 'To Start From index 1 and skip first capital letter
szString =Sheet1.Cells(nRowCounter,nColumnCounter)szNewString=""
While nStringCounter <= len(szString) -1
if ASC(UCase(Mid(szString,nStringCounter,1)))=ASC(Mid(szString,nStringCounter,1)) then
szNewString= szNewString & "/" & Mid(szString,nStringCounter,1)
else
szNewString= szNewString & Mid(szString,nStringCounter,1)
End if
nStringCounter=nStringCounter+1
Wend
