Solution 1

Use the SUBSTRING[^] function:

SQL

SELECT SUBSTRING(MyTextColumn, 6, 2) AS [FIR No]
      ,SUBSTRING(MyTextColumn, 9, 9999) AS [Under Section]
FROM MyTable

so you will have to make it more complicated - your sample data shows two characters, and that's all I get to work with.

You will have to look very closely at your data and work out exactly what it can contain. Then use CHARINDEX to work out the column start and length values.

I suspect that a couple of SQL user defined functions would be a good idea, but they'll probably be messy as well.
