Hi Guys,
I have one task and i need to build the logic to split the columns by comma,
see below for table definition
```
CREATE TABLE #X1
(SCHID VARCHAR(250))

INSERT INTO #X1 VALUES ('101,102,103,104,105,106,107')
```
The desired output should be,
```
IDAdditionalIds
101102|103|104|105|106|107
```
Can you please help me to build this? I appropriate for your help, and Thanks for your help.

all you need is String Splitter

So the number of columns returned = (number 0f commas + 1), is that correct?

What happens if the number of commas varies by input data row?

What should the columns be called?

Thanks for your reply,

The First Column need to have only one Value before comma, and rest it need to go to other column.

Seems like the easiest would be to use CHARINDEX and STUFF:

SELECT I.ID,
       I.AdditionalIDs
FROM (VALUES ('101,102,103,104,105,106,107')) X1(SCHID)
     CROSS APPLY (VALUES(LEFT(X1.SCHID,NULLIF(CHARINDEX(',',X1.SCHID),0)-1),STUFF(X1.SCHID,1,NULLIF(CHARINDEX(',',X1.SCHID),0),'')))I(ID,AdditionalIDs);

You could also write the above as follows, which may be easier to read:

SELECT I.ID,
       I.AdditionalIDs
FROM (VALUES ('101,102,103,104,105,106,107')) X1(SCHID)
     CROSS APPLY (VALUES(NULLIF(CHARINDEX(',',X1.SCHID),0))) CI(I)
     CROSS APPLY (VALUES(LEFT(X1.SCHID,CI.I-1),STUFF(X1.SCHID,1,CI.I,'')))I(ID,AdditionalIDs);

Excuse my typos and sometimes awful grammar. My fingers work faster than my brain does.

or such one:


with data as 
(select '101,102,103,104,105,106,107' [SCHID]) 
select 
    left(SCHID,charindex(',',SCHID)-1) [Id]
    ,stuff(SCHID,1,charindex(',',SCHID),'') [AdditionalIds]
from data

with all due respect, such constructions are "easier to read" if you deal with or create them on a regular basis 😉

Which is why the qualifying words may be were used.

SELECT LEFT(SCHID, x.Pos - 1) [Id],
       REPLACE(SUBSTRING(SCHID, x.Pos + 1, 8000),',','|') [AdditionalIds]
  FROM #X1
 CROSS APPLY(VALUES (CHARINDEX(',', SCHID))) x(Pos)
