You're quite right. Given that the inputs have been largely entered by (gasp) db-ignorant volunteers, there may not be any simple extraction. But a simple query extracting (most of the) street numers will get us about 80% of the rows, and the remainder can be adjusted manually. That's my guess, anyway. Upon achievement of this interim step, it's a cinch to grab the odd and even numbers. In case you're wondering, this is to facilitate the people canvassing and/or hanging signs for the designated politician. My first shot at this target was back in the days of DOS. I wrote the campaign-management software for our recently-departed Jack Layton Back then I did it for free, because I believed in his vision. Now I'm doing it again, and again for free, because I believe in the NDP vision. A.
