How can split a string in sql using comma delimiter

Hi mittal,


try this codes


CREATE FUNCTION dbo.Split(@String varchar(8000), @Delimiter char(1)) 
returns @temptable TABLE (items varchar(8000)) 
as 
begin 
  declare @idx int 
  declare @slice varchar(8000) 
 
  select @idx = 1 
  if len(@String)<1 or @String is null  return 
 
  while @idx!= 0 
  begin 
  set @idx = charindex(@Delimiter,@String) 
  if @idx!=0 
  set @slice = left(@String,@idx - 1) 
  else 
  set @slice = @String 
 
  if(len(@slice)>0) 
  insert into @temptable(Items) values(@slice) 
 
  set @String = right(@String,len(@String) - @idx) 
  if len(@String) = 0 break 
  end 
return 
end 



and run this function as


select * from dbo.split('Chennai,Bangalore,Mumbai',',') 


you will get output as,

Chennai
Bangalore
Mumbai

Thank you
