SQL Server Fucntion to Split Comma-Seperated Strings into table

Split function in general would have comma-separated string value to be split into individual strings.

The below Split function is Table-valued function which would help us splitting comma-separated (or any other delimiter value) string to individual string.

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 =
if len(@String)<1 or @String is null return 
while @idx!=
begin 
set @idx = charindex(@Delimiter,@String) 
if @idx!=
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

split function can be Used as

       select * from dbo.split ( '9899999999,9877889876,9865489678' , ',' )


would return



Hope this helps.
