[bellus]

I am creating a view for the table:
bellus=# select * from host_application_definition;
id | type_value | connection_value | group_value | application_value | host
----+------------+------------------+-------------+-------------------+----


From the table meta_host_types;

id | value | types | name
----+-------+-----------+--------
1 | agm | host-type | Rencid

I would like to seperate value into type_value and connection_value, because it holds both values.

Any tip?

bellus=# \d host_application_definition;
Table "public.host_application_definition"

because it holds both values

how does it hold both values???

How is it broken into multiple values?

(BTW. In order to properly normalize the table, a field should only hold one meaning, not two or more... So, to "fix" the database, you should split the field into two, and concatenate when needed)
