SQL Query - Parsing comma separated string

In this article we will see how to separate data one by one from a comma separated string.

First declare a variable to store articles in comma separated values.

DECLARE @DataString VARCHAR(200)
SET @DataString = 'ASP.NET, VB.NET, C#.NET, SQL, Javascript'

Add comma at last to @DataString

SET @DataString = @DataString + ','

Using while loop through all the topics in @DataString

WHILE (CHARINDEX(',', @DataString) > 0)
-- CHARINDEX is a SQL inbuilt function which returns the integer value if charecter is present in a string.
BEGIN
        -- To hold each topic
        DECLARE @Topics VARCHAR(30)
        -- Get the topic one at a time
        SET @Topics = SUBSTRING(@DataString,0, CHARINDEX(',', @DataString))
        PRINT @Topics

        -- Reset the @DataString
        SET @DataString = SUBSTRING(@DataString, CHARINDEX(',', @DataString) + 1, LEN(@DataString))

END

Here is the out put of the above query

UML - Association, Aggregation, Composition, Generalization, Specialization, Realization and Dependency

Association Association is a simple relationship between two classes. For example A relationship between Professor Class and Student class is known as Association. Both Classes can exist without each other, so Professor and Student are two independent classes. In this kind of relationships there will not be any owner class. Both classes have their own life cycle. UML Notation: Aggregation Aggregation is a special type of Association. It is known as “Has-A” relationship. For example A Department class can contain Professor Class. Here Department class is owner class. Here in this relationship even after deleting Department class, Professor Class can exits. UML Notation: Composition Composition is a special type of Aggregation. It is known as “Is-A” relationship. For example A University Class has many Department class. Here University and Department objects are dependent on each other. If we delete University cl
