Sometimes we need to split a long comma-separated String in a Stored procedure e.g. Sybase or SQL Server stored procedures. It's quite common to pass comma delimited or delimiter separated String as an input parameter to Stored procedure and then later split comma separated String into multiple values inside stored proc. This is not just the case of the input parameter but you can also have a comma-separated string in any table data. Unfortunately, there is no split() function in Sybase or SQL Server 2005 or 2008 which can directly split a string based on delimiter just like in the Java string split method.
