Split function equivalent in T-SQL?

Question

I’m looking to split \'1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15...\' (comma delimited) into a table or table variable.

Does anyone have a function that returns each one

Answer 1

CREATE FUNCTION Split
(
  @delimited nvarchar(max),
  @delimiter nvarchar(100)
) RETURNS @t TABLE
(
-- Id column can be commented out, not required for sql splitting string
  id int identity(1,1), -- I use this column for numbering splitted parts
  val nvarchar(max)
)
AS
BEGIN
  declare @xml xml
  set @xml = N'' + replace(@delimited,@delimiter,'') + ''

  insert into @t(val)
  select
    r.value('.','varchar(max)') as item
  from @xml.nodes('//root/r') as records(r)

  RETURN
END
GO

usage

Select * from dbo.Split(N'1,2,3,4,6',',')
