I have a SQL Server table with one column that stores Canadian Postal Codes. Sometimes they’re in the proper format H0H 0H0, and othertimes they’re written like H0H0H0 or H0H-0H0. I’m looking to be able to update all records to standardize the format as H0H 0H0 but I cannot figure out the SQL. Any help would be appreciated.

    UPDATE PostalCodes SET PostalCode = LEFT(PostalCode, 3) + ' ' + RIGHT(PostalCode, 3 )
    

    This assumes that the postal code field has already been trimmed on both the left and right sides. It literally grabs the left 3 digits, places a space and then the right 3 digits.
