Answer 1

using this example you can get an idea.

declare @str varchar(max)
set @str = 'Hello world'

declare @separator varchar(max)
set @separator = ' '

declare @Splited table(id int identity(1,1), item varchar(max))

set @str = REPLACE(@str,@separator,'''),(''')

set @str = 'select * from (values('''+@str+''')) as V(A)' 

insert into @Splited
exec(@str)
select * from @Splited
