Hi Siva, You can take help from function. it will help you in any cases. Below are the simple steps:   Step 1: run the below function in your database   SET ANSI_NULLS ON GO SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON GO CREATE FUNCTION [dbo].[SplitString] ( @Input NVARCHAR(MAX), @Character CHAR(1) ) RETURNS @Output TABLE ( Item NVARCHAR(1000) ) AS BEGIN DECLARE @StartIndex INT, @EndIndex INT SET @StartIndex = 1 IF SUBSTRING(@Input, LEN(@Input) - 1, LEN(@Input)) <> @Character BEGIN SET @Input = @Input + @Character END WHILE CHARINDEX(@Character, @Input) > 0 BEGIN SET @EndIndex = CHARINDEX(@Character, @Input) INSERT INTO @Output(Item) SELECT SUBSTRING(@Input, @StartIndex, @EndIndex - 1) SET @Input = SUBSTRING(@Input, @EndIndex + 1, LEN(@Input)) END RETURN END     step 2: for testing the function create the table named as splitTest as below   CREATE TABLE splitTest(name nvarchar(max))       step 3: test the result as below     declare @value nvarchar(max)='siva,nathan,vivek'; insert into splitTest select Item from SplitString(@value,',') select * from splitTest   ------------------------------------------------------- If this post helps you, mark it as answer

Hi,   Try this .....   declare @strvalue nvarchar(1000),@seprator nvarchar(20),@idlen int set @strvalue='1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,0' --select SUBSTRING(@strvalue,1,2-1) set @seprator=',' set @idlen=0 declare @tbl table (value nvarchar(1000)) while (select CHARINDEX(@seprator,@strvalue))>0 begin set @idlen=CHARINDEX(@seprator,@strvalue) if @idlen begin break end insert into @tbl select SUBSTRING(@strvalue,1,@idlen-1) set @strvalue=SUBSTRING(@strvalue,@idlen+1,LEN(@strvalue)) end insert into @tbl select @strvalue select * from @tbl
