解析姓和名的简单解决方案

DECLARE @Name varchar(10) = 'John Smith'

-- Get First Name
SELECT SUBSTRING(@Name, 0, (SELECT CHARINDEX(' ', @Name)))

-- Get Last Name
SELECT SUBSTRING(@Name, (SELECT CHARINDEX(' ', @Name)) + 1, LEN(@Name))

在我的例子中(在许多其他人中似乎也是如此……)，我有一个由一个空格隔开的姓和名列表。可以直接在选择语句中使用它来解析姓和名。

-- i.e. Get First and Last Name from a table of Full Names
SELECT SUBSTRING(FullName, 0, (SELECT CHARINDEX(' ', FullName))) as FirstName,
SUBSTRING(FullName, (SELECT CHARINDEX(' ', FullName)) + 1, LEN(FullName)) as LastName,
From FullNameTable

这里有一个UDF可以做到这一点。它将返回一个带分隔符的值的表，我还没有尝试所有的场景，但您的示例工作良好。

CREATE FUNCTION SplitString 
(
    -- Add the parameters for the function here
    @myString varchar(500),
    @deliminator varchar(10)
)
RETURNS 
@ReturnTable TABLE 
(
    -- Add the column definitions for the TABLE variable here
    [id] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
    [part] [varchar](50) NULL
)
AS
BEGIN
        Declare @iSpaces int
        Declare @part varchar(50)

        --initialize spaces
        Select @iSpaces = charindex(@deliminator,@myString,0)
        While @iSpaces > 0

        Begin
            Select @part = substring(@myString,0,charindex(@deliminator,@myString,0))

            Insert Into @ReturnTable(part)
            Select @part

    Select @myString = substring(@mystring,charindex(@deliminator,@myString,0)+ len(@deliminator),len(@myString) - charindex(' ',@myString,0))


            Select @iSpaces = charindex(@deliminator,@myString,0)
        end

        If len(@myString) > 0
            Insert Into @ReturnTable
            Select @myString

    RETURN 
END
GO

你可以这样称呼它:

Select * From SplitString('Hello John Smith',' ')

编辑:使用len>1处理分隔符的更新解决方案如下:

select * From SplitString('Hello**John**Smith','**')

递归CTE解决方案与服务器疼痛，测试它

MS SQL Server 2008模式设置:

create table Course( Courses varchar(100) );
insert into Course values ('Hello John Smith');

查询1:

with cte as
   ( select 
        left( Courses, charindex( ' ' , Courses) ) as a_l,
        cast( substring( Courses, 
                         charindex( ' ' , Courses) + 1 , 
                         len(Courses ) ) + ' ' 
              as varchar(100) )  as a_r,
        Courses as a,
        0 as n
     from Course t
    union all
      select 
        left(a_r, charindex( ' ' , a_r) ) as a_l,
        substring( a_r, charindex( ' ' , a_r) + 1 , len(a_R ) ) as a_r,
        cte.a,
        cte.n + 1 as n
    from Course t inner join cte 
         on t.Courses = cte.a and len( a_r ) > 0

   )
select a_l, n from cte
--where N = 1

结果:

|    A_L | N |
|--------|---|
| Hello  | 0 |
|  John  | 1 |
| Smith  | 2 |

在Azure SQL数据库(基于Microsoft SQL Server但不完全相同的东西)中，STRING_SPLIT函数的签名看起来像这样:

STRING_SPLIT ( string , separator [ , enable_ordinal ] )

当enable_ordinal标志设置为1时，结果将包括一个名为ordinal的列，该列由输入字符串中子字符串的基于1的位置组成:

SELECT *
FROM STRING_SPLIT('hello john smith', ' ', 1)

| value | ordinal |
|-------|---------|
| hello | 1       |
| john  | 2       |
| smith | 3       |

这允许我们这样做:

SELECT value
FROM STRING_SPLIT('hello john smith', ' ', 1)
WHERE ordinal = 2

| value |
|-------|
| john  |

如果enable_ordinal不可用，则有一个技巧，即假定输入字符串中的子字符串是惟一的。在这种情况下，CHAR_INDEX可以用来查找子字符串在输入字符串中的位置:

SELECT value, ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY CHARINDEX(value, input_str)) AS ord_pos
FROM (VALUES
    ('hello john smith')
) AS x(input_str)
CROSS APPLY STRING_SPLIT(input_str, ' ')

| value | ord_pos |
|-------+---------|
| hello | 1       |
| john  | 2       |
| smith | 3       |

几乎所有其他答案都是替换正在分割的字符串，这浪费了CPU周期并执行不必要的内存分配。

我在这里介绍了一种更好的进行字符串拆分的方法:http://www.digitalruby.com/split-string-sql-server/

代码如下:

SET NOCOUNT ON

-- You will want to change nvarchar(MAX) to nvarchar(50), varchar(50) or whatever matches exactly with the string column you will be searching against
DECLARE @SplitStringTable TABLE (Value nvarchar(MAX) NOT NULL)
DECLARE @StringToSplit nvarchar(MAX) = 'your|string|to|split|here'
DECLARE @SplitEndPos int
DECLARE @SplitValue nvarchar(MAX)
DECLARE @SplitDelim nvarchar(1) = '|'
DECLARE @SplitStartPos int = 1

SET @SplitEndPos = CHARINDEX(@SplitDelim, @StringToSplit, @SplitStartPos)

WHILE @SplitEndPos > 0
BEGIN
    SET @SplitValue = SUBSTRING(@StringToSplit, @SplitStartPos, (@SplitEndPos - @SplitStartPos))
    INSERT @SplitStringTable (Value) VALUES (@SplitValue)
    SET @SplitStartPos = @SplitEndPos + 1
    SET @SplitEndPos = CHARINDEX(@SplitDelim, @StringToSplit, @SplitStartPos)
END

SET @SplitValue = SUBSTRING(@StringToSplit, @SplitStartPos, 2147483647)
INSERT @SplitStringTable (Value) VALUES(@SplitValue)

SET NOCOUNT OFF

-- You can select or join with the values in @SplitStringTable at this point.

CREATE FUNCTION [dbo].[fnSplitString] 
( 
    @string NVARCHAR(MAX), 
    @delimiter CHAR(1) 
) 
RETURNS @output TABLE(splitdata NVARCHAR(MAX) 
) 
BEGIN 
    DECLARE @start INT, @end INT 
    SELECT @start = 1, @end = CHARINDEX(@delimiter, @string) 
    WHILE @start < LEN(@string) + 1 BEGIN 
        IF @end = 0  
            SET @end = LEN(@string) + 1

        INSERT INTO @output (splitdata)  
        VALUES(SUBSTRING(@string, @start, @end - @start)) 
        SET @start = @end + 1 
        SET @end = CHARINDEX(@delimiter, @string, @start)

    END 
    RETURN 
END

并使用它

select *from dbo.fnSplitString('Querying SQL Server','')
