Sql 如何拆分字符串以便访问项目x？

使用SQL Server，如何拆分字符串以便访问项目x

---

用一个字符串“你好，约翰·史密斯”。如何按空格分割字符串并访问索引1中返回“John”的项？

您可以在“帮助”（from）中找到解决方案

您可以使用以下简单逻辑：

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

下面是一个UDF，它可以做到这一点。它将返回一个带分隔符的值的表，还并没有对其尝试所有方案，但您的示例运行良好

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',' ')

select * from SplitWordList('Hello John Smith')

编辑：更新的解决方案，用于处理len>1的发货人，如中所示：

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

试试这个：

CREATE function [SplitWordList]
(
 @list varchar(8000)
)
returns @t table 
(
 Word varchar(50) not null,
 Position int identity(1,1) not null
)
as begin
  declare 
    @pos int,
    @lpos int,
    @item varchar(100),
    @ignore varchar(100),
    @dl int,
    @a1 int,
    @a2 int,
    @z1 int,
    @z2 int,
    @n1 int,
    @n2 int,
    @c varchar(1),
    @a smallint
  select 
    @a1 = ascii('a'),
    @a2 = ascii('A'),
    @z1 = ascii('z'),
    @z2 = ascii('Z'),
    @n1 = ascii('0'),
    @n2 = ascii('9')
  set @ignore = '''"'
  set @pos = 1
  set @dl = datalength(@list)
  set @lpos = 1
  set @item = ''
  while (@pos <= @dl) begin
    set @c = substring(@list, @pos, 1)
    if (@ignore not like '%' + @c + '%') begin
      set @a = ascii(@c)
      if ((@a >= @a1) and (@a <= @z1))  
        or ((@a >= @a2) and (@a <= @z2))
        or ((@a >= @n1) and (@a <= @n2))
      begin
        set @item = @item + @c
      end else if (@item > '') begin
        insert into @t values (@item)
        set @item = ''
      end
    end 
    set @pos = @pos + 1
  end
  if (@item > '') begin
    insert into @t values (@item)
  end
  return
end

我不相信SQL Server有内置的拆分函数，因此除了UDF之外，我知道的唯一其他答案是劫持PARSENAME函数：

SELECT PARSENAME(REPLACE('Hello John Smith', ' ', '.'), 2) 

DECLARE @bla varchar(MAX)
SET @bla = 'BED40DFC-F468-46DD-8017-00EF2FA3E4A4,64B59FC5-3F4D-4B0E-9A48-01F3D4F220B0,A611A108-97CA-42F3-A2E1-057165339719,E72D95EA-578F-45FC-88E5-075F66FD726C'

-- http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14712864/how-to-query-values-from-xml-nodes
SELECT 
    x.XmlCol.value('.', 'varchar(36)') AS val 
FROM 
(
    SELECT 
    CAST('<e>' + REPLACE(@bla, ',', '</e><e>') + '</e>' AS xml) AS RawXml
) AS b 
CROSS APPLY b.RawXml.nodes('e') x(XmlCol);

create function GetStringPartByDelimeter (
    @value as nvarchar(max),
    @delimeter as nvarchar(max),
    @position as int
) returns NVARCHAR(MAX) 
AS BEGIN
    declare @startPos as int
    declare @endPos as int
    set @endPos = -1
    while (@position > 0 and @endPos != 0) begin
        set @startPos = @endPos + 1
        set @endPos = charindex(@delimeter, @value, @startPos)

        if(@position = 1) begin
            if(@endPos = 0)
                set @endPos = len(@value) + 1

            return substring(@value, @startPos, @endPos - @startPos)
        end

        set @position = @position - 1
    end

    return null
end

PARSENAME接受一个字符串并在句点字符上拆分它。它接受一个数字作为第二个参数，该数字指定返回字符串的哪一段（从后向前）

明显的问题是当字符串已经包含句点时。我仍然认为使用UDF是最好的方法……还有其他建议吗？

首先，创建一个函数（使用CTE，公共表表达式不需要临时表）

然后，像这样将其用作任何表（或将其修改为适合现有存储过程）

select s 
from dbo.SplitString('Hello John Smith', ' ')
where zeroBasedOccurance=1

更新

对于长度超过4000个字符的输入字符串，以前的版本将失败。此版本考虑了以下限制：

create function dbo.SplitString 
(
    @str nvarchar(max), 
    @separator char(1)
)
returns table
AS
return (
with tokens(p, a, b) AS (
    select 
        cast(1 as bigint), 
        cast(1 as bigint), 
        charindex(@separator, @str)
    union all
    select
        p + 1, 
        b + 1, 
        charindex(@separator, @str, b + 1)
    from tokens
    where b > 0
)
select
    p-1 ItemIndex,
    substring(
        @str, 
        a, 
        case when b > 0 then b-a ELSE LEN(@str) end) 
    AS s
from tokens
);

GO

用法保持不变。

您可以利用数字表进行字符串解析

创建物理数字表：

    create table dbo.Numbers (N int primary key);
    insert into dbo.Numbers
        select top 1000 row_number() over(order by number) from master..spt_values
    go

创建包含1000000行的测试表

    create table #yak (i int identity(1,1) primary key, array varchar(50))

    insert into #yak(array)
        select 'a,b,c' from dbo.Numbers n cross join dbo.Numbers nn
    go

创建函数

    create function [dbo].[ufn_ParseArray]
        (   @Input      nvarchar(4000), 
            @Delimiter  char(1) = ',',
            @BaseIdent  int
        )
    returns table as
    return  
        (   select  row_number() over (order by n asc) + (@BaseIdent - 1) [i],
                    substring(@Input, n, charindex(@Delimiter, @Input + @Delimiter, n) - n) s
            from    dbo.Numbers
            where   n <= convert(int, len(@Input)) and
                    substring(@Delimiter + @Input, n, 1) = @Delimiter
        )
    go

清理

    drop table dbo.Numbers;
    drop function  [dbo].[ufn_ParseArray]

---

这里的性能并不令人惊讶，但在一百万行表上调用函数并不是最好的主意。如果在多行上执行字符串拆分，我将避免使用该函数

我在网上寻找解决方案，下面的内容对我很有用。

您可以这样调用函数：

SELECT * FROM dbo.split('ram shyam hari gopal',' ')

---

将ANSI_空值设置为ON
去
在上设置带引号的\u标识符
去
创建函数[dbo].[Split]（@String VARCHAR（8000），@Delimiter CHAR（1））
返回@tentable表（items VARCHAR（8000））
作为
开始
声明@idx INT
声明@slice VARCHAR（8000）
选择@idx=1
如果len（@String）0）
插入到@attreable（Items）值（@slice）
设置@String=RIGHT（@String，len（@String）-@idx）
如果len（@String）=0中断
结束
返回
结束

在我看来，你们把事情弄得太复杂了。只需创建一个CLR UDF并完成它

using System;
using System.Data;
using System.Data.SqlClient;
using System.Data.SqlTypes;
using Microsoft.SqlServer.Server;
using System.Collections.Generic;

public partial class UserDefinedFunctions {
  [SqlFunction]
  public static SqlString SearchString(string Search) {
    List<string> SearchWords = new List<string>();
    foreach (string s in Search.Split(new char[] { ' ' })) {
      if (!s.ToLower().Equals("or") && !s.ToLower().Equals("and")) {
        SearchWords.Add(s);
      }
    }

    return new SqlString(string.Join(" OR ", SearchWords.ToArray()));
  }
};

使用系统；
使用系统数据；
使用System.Data.SqlClient；
使用System.Data.SqlTypes；
使用Microsoft.SqlServer.Server；
使用System.Collections.Generic；
公共部分类UserDefinedFunctions{
[SqlFunction]
公共静态SqlString搜索字符串（字符串搜索）{
List SearchWords=新列表（）；
foreach（Search.Split中的字符串s（新字符[]{''}））{
如果（！s.ToLower（）.Equals（“或”）和（&！s.ToLower（）.Equals（“和”））{
搜索词。添加；
}
}
返回新的SqlString（string.Join（“OR”，SearchWords.ToArray（））；
}
};

我知道这是一个老问题，但我认为有些人可以从我的解决方案中受益

select 
SUBSTRING(column_name,1,CHARINDEX(' ',column_name,1)-1)
,SUBSTRING(SUBSTRING(column_name,CHARINDEX(' ',column_name,1)+1,LEN(column_name))
    ,1
    ,CHARINDEX(' ',SUBSTRING(column_name,CHARINDEX(' ',column_name,1)+1,LEN(column_name)),1)-1)
,SUBSTRING(SUBSTRING(column_name,CHARINDEX(' ',column_name,1)+1,LEN(column_name))
    ,CHARINDEX(' ',SUBSTRING(column_name,CHARINDEX(' ',column_name,1)+1,LEN(column_name)),1)+1
    ,LEN(column_name))
from table_name

优势：

• 它通过“”分隔所有3个子字符串
• 不能使用while循环，因为它会降低性能
• 无需旋转，因为所有生成的子字符串都将显示在 一排

限制：

• 必须知道空格（子字符串）的总数

注意：该解决方案最多可提供N个子字符串

为了克服这个限制，我们可以使用以下方法

但同样，上面的内容不能用在桌子上（实际上我不能用）

我再次希望这个解决方案能帮助一些人

更新：如果记录数>50000，则不建议使用

循环，因为它会降低性能这里我发布了一个简单的解决方法

CREATE FUNCTION [dbo].[split](
          @delimited NVARCHAR(MAX),
          @delimiter NVARCHAR(100)
        ) RETURNS @t TABLE (id INT IDENTITY(1,1), val NVARCHAR(MAX))
        AS
        BEGIN
          DECLARE @xml XML
          SET @xml = N'<t>' + REPLACE(@delimited,@delimiter,'</t><t>') + '</t>'

          INSERT INTO @t(val)
          SELECT  r.value('.','varchar(MAX)') as item
          FROM  @xml.nodes('/t') as records(r)
          RETURN
        END

使用
string
和
values（）
语句怎么样

DECLARE @str varchar(max)
SET @str = 'Hello John Smith'

DECLARE @separator varchar(max)
SET @separator = ' '

DECLARE @Splited TABLE(id int IDENTITY(1,1), item varchar(max))

SET @str = REPLACE(@str, @separator, '''),(''')
SET @str = 'SELECT * FROM (VALUES(''' + @str + ''')) AS V(A)' 

INSERT INTO @Splited
EXEC(@str)

SELECT * FROM @Splited

取得的结果集

id  item
1   Hello
2   John
3   Smith

下面的示例使用递归CTE

更新2013年9月18日

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
我使用frederic的答案，但这在SQL Server 2005中不起作用

我修改了它，并使用
select
和
union-all
一起使用，它可以正常工作

DECLARE @str varchar(max)
SET @str = 'Hello John Smith how are you'

DECLARE @separator varchar(max)
SET @separator = ' '

DECLARE @Splited table(id int IDENTITY(1,1), item varchar(max))

SET @str = REPLACE(@str, @separator, ''' UNION ALL SELECT ''')
SET @str = ' SELECT  ''' + @str + '''  ' 

INSERT INTO @Splited
EXEC(@str)

SELECT * FROM @Splited

结果集为：

id  item
1   Hello
2   John
3   Smith
4   how
5   are
6   you

这里的大多数解决方案都使用while循环或递归cte。我保证，如果您可以使用空格以外的分隔符，则基于集合的方法将更优越：

CREATE FUNCTION [dbo].[SplitString]
    (
        @List NVARCHAR(MAX),
        @Delim VARCHAR(255)
    )
    RETURNS TABLE
    AS
        RETURN ( SELECT [Value], idx = RANK() OVER (ORDER BY n) FROM 
          ( 
            SELECT n = Number, 
              [Value] = LTRIM(RTRIM(SUBSTRING(@List, [Number],
              CHARINDEX(@Delim, @List + @Delim, [Number]) - [Number])))
            FROM (SELECT Number = ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY name)
              FROM sys.all_objects) AS x
              WHERE Number <= LEN(@List)
              AND SUBSTRING(@Delim + @List, [Number], LEN(@Delim)) = @Delim
          ) AS y
        );

结果:

您也可以将
idx
作为参数添加到函数中，但我将把它作为练习留给读者

您不能仅使用SQL Server 2016中添加的，因为不能保证输出将按照原始列表的顺序呈现。换句话说，如果您传入
3,6,1
，结果很可能是按此顺序，但可能是
1,3,6
。我已经请求社区帮助改进这里的内置功能：




用足够的定性反馈，他们实际上可以考虑做一些增强：
