I have some address string that needs to be analyzed for each component.
CREATE TABLE Table1 ("ID" int, "address" varchar(41));
INSERT INTO Table1 ("ID", "address")
VALUES
(1, 'calle 15, lomas del avila'),
(2, 'calle av. solano edif:Apalache apt-15');
So I need to split by different characters like ( ., ,, :, ;, <space>, -)
For one character I know how to do it.
SELECT ID, s.token
FROM Table1 t, unnest(string_to_array(t.address, ' ')) s(token);
How chain multiple unnest and how I assign an OrderID?
| ID | token | orderID
|----|---------------|--------
| 1 | calle | 1
| 1 | 15, | 2
| 1 | lomas | 3
| 1 | del | 4
| 1 | avila | 5
| 2 | calle | 1
| 2 | av. | 2
| 2 | solano | 3
| 2 | edif:Apalache | 4
| 2 | apt-15 | 5
For this example second row 15, will be split into 15 and null so second result can be discard and order won't change.
But in the last 2 rows edif:Apalache and apt-15 the second split will produce edif, Apalache, apt and 15 so orderID will go from 4 to 7:
| 2 | edif | 4
| 2 | Apalache | 5
| 2 | apt | 6
| 2 | 15 | 7
