Find website from email address

Hi,

I have 2 fields in a database: 'email' and 'website'.

In the majority of cases, the website field is not populated even though the
email address is. In 90% of cases, the website will be 'www.' followed by
whatever is after the '@.' symbol in the email address.

Would anyone be able to help me with the SQL that would take whatever is
after the '@.' sign in the email address, add it to 'www.' and populate the
'website' field?

Thanks!Would anyone be able to help me with the SQL that would take whatever

UPDATE yourtable
SET Site = SUBSTRING(yourtable.email, CHARINDEX('@.', yourtable.email) + 1,
LEN(yourtable.email) - CHARINDEX('@.', yourtable.email))

Here's one method:

UPDATE dbo.MyTable
SET website =
CASE WHEN CHARINDEX('@.', email) 0 AND CHARINDEX('@.', email) + 1 <
LEN(email) THEN
'www.' + SUBSTRING(email, CHARINDEX('@.', email) + 1, 255)
ELSE
website
END
WHERE
website IS NULL OR
website = ''

Hope this helps.
