Is there a reliable process (using MySQL) to reformat UK postcodes which contain no spaces so that they do?
For example:
CM75GJ
-> CM7 5GJ
L269XR
-> L26 9XR
YO265TD
-> YO26 5TD
Looking at UK postal code formatting and assuming there are is no faulty input, this should do the trick:
UPDATE address SET postcode =
SUBSTRING(postcode, 1, LEN(postcode)-3) + ' ' +
SUBSTRING(postcode, LEN(postcode)-2, 3)
