test=# select * from foo;
string
---------------------------------
name='joe' , address='portugal'
(1 row)
Write a function:
- count the fields separeted by ',' and then for every field:
test=# select regexp_replace(split_part(string,',',1), '\\m.*=', '') from foo;
regexp_replace
----------------
'joe'
(1 row)
test=# select regexp_replace(split_part(string,',',2), '\\m.*=', '') from foo;
regexp_replace
----------------
'portugal'
(1 row)
You can with trim() remove spaces if you need.
