Hello,
I have a dilema and I was hoping someone here may offer guidance or assistance. I bet this is a very simple question for someone out there but I am having problems coming up with a solution. Here it is... suppose I have a field with the following values: 77.1
77.2
134.1
134.2
134.3
5.1
5.2
I need two seperate SELECT queries. One would return the following values (everything left of the decimal point) 77
77
134
134
5
5
The second query would return all of the values to the right of the decimal point: 1
2
1
2
3
1
2

silly me says..

   SELECT FLOOR(x), x-FLOOR(x) FROM TABLE;

at least for numeric values.

but, in string space, ummmm...

   select split_part(x,'.',1), split_part(x,'.',2) from table;

or
select regexp_replace(x, '\.[0-9]*$',''), regexp_replace(x,'^[0-9]*\.','') from table;

or god knows how many others.
