Berikut adalah contoh lengkap, dengan data uji yang mudah dimanipulasi.
Dengan contoh ini, jika Anda memiliki nama dengan lebih dari tiga bagian, maka semua "ekstra" akan dimasukkan ke dalam bidang LAST_NAME. Pengecualian dibuat untuk string tertentu yang diidentifikasi sebagai "judul", seperti "DR", "MRS", dan "MR".
Jika nama tengah tidak ada, Anda hanya mendapatkan FIRST_NAME dan LAST_NAME (MIDDLE_NAME akan menjadi NULL).
Anda bisa menghancurkannya menjadi gumpalan raksasa bersarang SUBSTRING, tetapi keterbacaan cukup sulit seperti saat Anda melakukan ini di SQL.
Edit-- Tangani kasus khusus berikut:
1 - Bidang NAMA NULL
2 - Bidang NAMA berisi spasi awal / akhir
3 - Bidang NAME memiliki> 1 spasi berurutan di dalam nama
4 - Bidang NAMA HANYA berisi nama depan
5 - Sertakan nama lengkap asli dalam hasil akhir sebagai kolom terpisah, agar mudah dibaca
6 - Menangani daftar awalan tertentu sebagai kolom "judul" terpisah
