Question

Can you please help with Hive Query to get FirstName, MiddleName,  LastName and Suffix from FullName in Hive. Thank you

Answer 1

Hey,

You can get first name, middle name, last name and suffix from full name as follows:

Select 'full name' as col1, 

substring(col1 FROM1 FOR  POSITION(' ' IN col1)-1) as first_name,

 substring(col1 FROM POSITION(' ' IN col1)+1 as rest name, 

substring(rest_name from 1 FOR POSITION(' ' IN rest_name)-1 as middle_name, 

substring(rest_name from POSITION(' ' IN rest_name)+1)as last_name, 

substring(last_name from 1 FOR POSITION(' ' IN last_name)-1)as suffix;

If it works let me know.
