See split the values is simple using CHARINDEX and SUBSTRING functions. But the problem is if any where in your Source Place having "TO" String then 100% your Split process goes wrong.

Hi,

Check the following Script...

SQL

SELECT COALESCE(From_Place,SUBSTRING(Area,1,CHARINDEX(' TO ', Area, 1))) 'From_Place',
COALESCE(To_Place,SUBSTRING(Area,CHARINDEX(' TO ', Area, 1)+4,LEN(Area))) 'To_Place',
NULL Area
FROM SOURCE
