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

This blog came with a pretty good solution using XML in T-SQL.

This is the function I came up with based on that blog (change function name and result type cast per need):

SET ANSI_NULLS ON
GO
SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
GO
CREATE FUNCTION [dbo].[SplitIntoBigints]
(@List varchar(MAX), @Splitter char)
RETURNS TABLE 
AS
RETURN 
(
    WITH SplittedXML AS(
        SELECT CAST('' + REPLACE(@List, @Splitter, '') + '' AS XML) AS Splitted
    )
    SELECT x.v.value('.', 'bigint') AS Value
    FROM SplittedXML
    CROSS APPLY Splitted.nodes('//v') x(v)
)
GO
