We import canadian zipcodes from time to time but we get them like:

A0A1A0

But they want them with a space like:

A0A 1A0

I tried the update command:

UPDATE tmpimport SET zipcode = ((SGET(zipcode,3,1)) + ' ' + (SGET(zipcode, +
      3,4))) WHERE zipcode IS NOT NULL

It works but takes a long time to run. The canadian zipcodes are over 820000
rows.

Does anybody know of a command that might run quicker??
 
TIA
