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!

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.
