    <p>I have two tables in a same database. </p> <p>Table1, <strong>New_Company_Data</strong> it has column "Company_Name" nvarchar(120) which contains name of companies. </p> <p>and Table2, <strong>Old_Company_data</strong> it has 3 column "Name1" nvarchar(40), "Name2" nvarchar(40) and "Name3" nvarchar(40). </p> <p>I want to copy the data from table <strong>New_Company_Data</strong> to the table <strong>Old_Company_Data</strong> but before this I have to split the companies name which are in column "Company_Name". I tried to split it but its breaking the words. </p> <p>How can I split the data in "Company_Name" field with out breaking the words in following way: </p> <p>IF company name is &lt;=40 then don't split. </p> <p>IF company name is >40 and &lt;=80 then split it in two parts without breaking the words.</p> <p>IF company name is >80 and &lt;=120 then split it in three parts without breaking the words. </p> <p>I am using following code but its not generating the results properly. E.g in the below code i am getting string2 as "ik u." But here I want to get next 40 characters. </p> <pre><code>declare @strs nvarchar(120) set @strs = 'AlufinishGesellschaftfür Verfahrenstechnik u. zur Metalloberflächenbehandlung mbH &amp; C' --40 declare @lon int declare @palabras int declare @contador int declare @posicion int declare @string1 nvarchar(40) declare @string2 nvarchar(40) declare @string3 nvarchar(40) --wordcount set @palabras = LEN(@strs)-LEN(replace(@strs, ' ', ''))+1 --3 --words per batch if (LEN(@strs)&lt;=40) set @lon = @palabras if (LEN(@strs)&gt;40 AND LEN(@strs)&lt;=80) set @lon = @palabras/2 --3 if (LEN(@strs)&gt;80 AND LEN(@strs)&lt;=120) set @lon = @palabras/3 --set @lon = @palabras/3 set @contador = 1 set @posicion = 0 while @contador &lt;= @lon begin -- search for the first batch set @posicion = CHARINDEX(' ',@strs,@posicion+1)-- here it will found 1st space set @contador = @contador+1 end set @string1 = Left(@strs, @posicion) set @strs = replace(@strs, @string1, '') set @contador = 1 set @posicion = 0 while @contador &lt;= @lon begin -- search for the second batch set @posicion = CHARINDEX(' ',@strs,@posicion+1) set @contador = @contador+1 end set @string2 = LEFT(@strs, @posicion) set @string3 = replace(@strs, @string2, '') --use test --update company_backup --set company1=@string1,company2=@string3 where id=12 select @string1 as string1, @string2 as string2, @string3 as string3 </code></pre>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
