Is there something analogous to a split() method in mySql?

Question

I\'m looking to write a stored procedure that takes as a parameter a string that\'s delimited by a token and then to run a while loop in the procedure for every item in that str

Answer 1

I think you can accomplish what you want via substring_index

It's not as straightforward as just a split() function but I'm sure you can work out a while loop with this function.
