下面是一个SQL UDF，它可以分割字符串并只抓取特定的部分。

create FUNCTION [dbo].[udf_SplitParseOut]
(
    @List nvarchar(MAX),
    @SplitOn nvarchar(5),
    @GetIndex smallint
)  
returns varchar(1000)
AS  

BEGIN

DECLARE @RtnValue table 
(

    Id int identity(0,1),
    Value nvarchar(MAX)
) 


    DECLARE @result varchar(1000)

    While (Charindex(@SplitOn,@List)>0)
    Begin
        Insert Into @RtnValue (value)
        Select Value = ltrim(rtrim(Substring(@List,1,Charindex(@SplitOn,@List)-1)))
        Set @List = Substring(@List,Charindex(@SplitOn,@List)+len(@SplitOn),len(@List))
    End

    Insert Into @RtnValue (Value)
    Select Value = ltrim(rtrim(@List))

    select @result = value from @RtnValue where ID = @GetIndex

    Return @result
END

我一直在使用vzczc的答案使用递归cte的一段时间，但一直想更新它来处理可变长度分隔符，也处理字符串与前驱和滞后“分隔符”，如当你有一个csv文件的记录，如:

“鲍勃”,“史密斯”桑尼维尔”,“CA”

或者当你处理如下所示的六部分fqn时。我广泛地使用这些来记录subject_fqn的审计，错误处理等，parsename只处理四个部分:

[netbios_name].[machine_name].[instance].[database].[schema].[table].[column]

这是我的更新版本，感谢vzczc的原始帖子!

CREATE TABLE test(
    id int,
    adress varchar(100)
);
INSERT INTO test VALUES(1, 'Ludovic Aubert, 42 rue de la Victoire, 75009, Paris, France'),(2, 'Jose Garcia, 1 Calle de la Victoria, 56500 Barcelona, Espana');

SELECT id, value, COUNT(*) OVER (PARTITION BY id) AS n, ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY id ORDER BY (SELECT NULL)) AS rn, adress
FROM test
CROSS APPLY STRING_SPLIT(adress, ',')

下面的示例使用递归CTE

更新18.09.2013

CREATE FUNCTION dbo.SplitStrings_CTE(@List nvarchar(max), @Delimiter nvarchar(1))
RETURNS @returns TABLE (val nvarchar(max), [level] int, PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED([level]))
AS
BEGIN
;WITH cte AS
 (
  SELECT SUBSTRING(@List, 0, CHARINDEX(@Delimiter,  @List + @Delimiter)) AS val,
         CAST(STUFF(@List + @Delimiter, 1, CHARINDEX(@Delimiter, @List + @Delimiter), '') AS nvarchar(max)) AS stval, 
         1 AS [level]
  UNION ALL
  SELECT SUBSTRING(stval, 0, CHARINDEX(@Delimiter, stval)),
         CAST(STUFF(stval, 1, CHARINDEX(@Delimiter, stval), '') AS nvarchar(max)),
         [level] + 1
  FROM cte
  WHERE stval != ''
  )
  INSERT @returns
  SELECT REPLACE(val, ' ','' ) AS val, [level]
  FROM cte
  WHERE val > ''
  RETURN
END

演示SQLFiddle

下面是一个函数，它将完成问题的目标，即分割字符串并访问项目X:

CREATE FUNCTION [dbo].[SplitString]
(
   @List       VARCHAR(MAX),
   @Delimiter  VARCHAR(255),
   @ElementNumber INT
)
RETURNS VARCHAR(MAX)
AS
BEGIN

       DECLARE @inp VARCHAR(MAX)
       SET @inp = (SELECT REPLACE(@List,@Delimiter,'_DELMTR_') FOR XML PATH(''))

       DECLARE @xml XML
       SET @xml = '<split><el>' + REPLACE(@inp,'_DELMTR_','</el><el>') + '</el></split>'

       DECLARE @ret VARCHAR(MAX)
       SET @ret = (SELECT
              el = split.el.value('.','varchar(max)')
       FROM  @xml.nodes('/split/el[string-length(.)>0][position() = sql:variable("@elementnumber")]') split(el))

       RETURN @ret

END

用法:

SELECT dbo.SplitString('Hello John Smith', ' ', 2)

结果:

John

虽然类似于josejuan基于XML的回答，但我发现只处理一次XML路径，然后旋转稍微更有效:

select ID,
    [3] as PathProvidingID,
    [4] as PathProvider,
    [5] as ComponentProvidingID,
    [6] as ComponentProviding,
    [7] as InputRecievingID,
    [8] as InputRecieving,
    [9] as RowsPassed,
    [10] as InputRecieving2
    from
    (
    select id,message,d.* from sysssislog cross apply       ( 
          SELECT Item = y.i.value('(./text())[1]', 'varchar(200)'),
              row_number() over(order by y.i) as rn
          FROM 
          ( 
             SELECT x = CONVERT(XML, '<i>' + REPLACE(Message, ':', '</i><i>') + '</i>').query('.')
          ) AS a CROSS APPLY x.nodes('i') AS y(i)
       ) d
       WHERE event
       = 
       'OnPipelineRowsSent'
    ) as tokens 
    pivot 
    ( max(item) for [rn] in ([3],[4],[5],[6],[7],[8],[9],[10]) 
    ) as data

8:30开始

select id,
tokens.value('(/n[3])', 'varchar(100)')as PathProvidingID,
tokens.value('(/n[4])', 'varchar(100)') as PathProvider,
tokens.value('(/n[5])', 'varchar(100)') as ComponentProvidingID,

tokens.value('(/n[9])', 'varchar(100)') as RowsPassed
 from
(
    select id, Convert(xml,'<n>'+Replace(message,'.','</n><n>')+'</n>') tokens
         from sysssislog 
       WHERE event
       =
