如果数据库的兼容性级别为130或更高，则可以使用STRING_SPLIT函数和OFFSET FETCH子句按索引获取特定的项。

要获得索引N(从零开始)的项，可以使用以下代码

SELECT value
FROM STRING_SPLIT('Hello John Smith',' ')
ORDER BY (SELECT NULL)
OFFSET N ROWS
FETCH NEXT 1 ROWS ONLY

要检查数据库的兼容性级别，执行以下代码:

SELECT compatibility_level  
FROM sys.databases WHERE name = 'YourDBName';

如果任何人只想获得分离文本的一部分，可以使用这个

select * from from splitstringsep ('Word1 word2 word3'，' ')

CREATE function [dbo].[SplitStringSep] 
(
    @str nvarchar(4000), 
    @separator char(1)
)
returns table
AS
return (
    with tokens(p, a, b) AS (
        select 
        1, 
        1, 
        charindex(@separator, @str)
        union all
        select
            p + 1, 
            b + 1, 
            charindex(@separator, @str, b + 1)
        from tokens
        where b > 0
        )
        select
            p-1 zeroBasedOccurance,
            substring(
                @str, 
                a, 
                case when b > 0 then b-a ELSE 4000 end) 
            AS s
        from tokens
  )

你可以在SQL用户定义函数解析带分隔符的字符串中找到有用的解决方案(来自代码项目)。

你可以使用这个简单的逻辑:

Declare @products varchar(200) = '1|20|3|343|44|6|8765'
Declare @individual varchar(20) = null

WHILE LEN(@products) > 0
BEGIN
    IF PATINDEX('%|%', @products) > 0
    BEGIN
        SET @individual = SUBSTRING(@products,
                                    0,
                                    PATINDEX('%|%', @products))
        SELECT @individual

        SET @products = SUBSTRING(@products,
                                  LEN(@individual + '|') + 1,
                                  LEN(@products))
    END
    ELSE
    BEGIN
        SET @individual = @products
        SET @products = NULL
        SELECT @individual
    END
END

使用STRING_SPLIT的现代方法需要SQL Server 2016及以上版本。

DECLARE @string varchar(100) = 'Hello John Smith'

SELECT
    ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY value) AS RowNr,
    value
FROM string_split(@string, ' ')

结果:

RowNr   value
1       Hello
2       John
3       Smith

现在可以从行号中得到第n个元素。

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

基于纯集的解决方案，使用TVF和递归CTE。您可以将此函数JOIN和APPLY到任何数据集。

create function [dbo].[SplitStringToResultSet] (@value varchar(max), @separator char(1))
returns table
as return
with r as (
    select value, cast(null as varchar(max)) [x], -1 [no] from (select rtrim(cast(@value as varchar(max))) [value]) as j
    union all
    select right(value, len(value)-case charindex(@separator, value) when 0 then len(value) else charindex(@separator, value) end) [value]
    , left(r.[value], case charindex(@separator, r.value) when 0 then len(r.value) else abs(charindex(@separator, r.[value])-1) end ) [x]
    , [no] + 1 [no]
    from r where value > '')

select ltrim(x) [value], [no] [index] from r where x is not null;
go

用法:

select *
from [dbo].[SplitStringToResultSet]('Hello John Smith', ' ')
where [index] = 1;

结果:

value   index
-------------
John    1
