Nice question. I don't use it much, but there's always something to learn, especially from the built-in functions.

Interesting question, thanks, Steve

Still not sure where to use this, but it is an interesting function. Glad you all enjoyed it.

It would be good to hear of a use case for this function. Surely it was created for some purpose in mind, but I sure can't think of any reason I would use it. Has anyone had a real world use for this function?

I don't think I've ever seen a real-world use that involves the intended use of this command but I've seen many examples of use with IP addresses and suchlike. A search of this site will produce a host of examples.

Since we use named schemas a lot, I use it to parse inputs from humans for table names, etc.

Interesting! That's definitely the first time I've heard a real-world application where someone is actually parsing what it was intended to parse.

If you take a look at some of the system stored procedures that MS provides us, that seems to be what they use it for, as well.
