如何拆分看起来像这样的值:
'some:1234,dumb:4321,thing:6534,someone:65432,did:43287'

到这个:

value1    value2
some      1234
dumb      4321
thing     6534
someone   65432
did       43287

用于插入到新表中。

以下代码显示了一些“看起来”像我想要实现的东西。我已经花了大约一天的时间来拉头发。

我还包括了表和函数定义以及几行数据,以说明我要实现的目标。

对于“事物”中的每条记录,“值”列应拆分两次。第一个拆分提供了新记录的数据。该数据需要再拆分一次才能获得各个字段。

我宁愿远离游标,我有成千上万的记录要更新。

编辑

我并没有像我期望的那样清晰,但是你们有一些很棒的想法。我的最终结果应类似于以下内容,插入到新表中。感谢您迄今为止的所有帮助!
ID  Item         Value
1   some         1234
1   dumb         4321
1   thing        6534
1   someone      65432
1   did          43287
2   this         31234
2   is           43221
2   so wrong     65482

最佳答案

在这种情况下,我更喜欢这种方法:

这是你的绳子

DECLARE @csv VARCHAR(100)='some:1234,dumb:4321,thing:6534,someone:65432,did:43287';

一些替代方法将此字符串转换为XML:
SELECT CAST('<x><y>' + REPLACE(REPLACE((SELECT @csv AS [*] FOR XML PATH('')),',','</y></x><x><y>'),':','</y><y>') + '</y></x>' AS XML);

这就是结果,我们可以使用XML方法进行查询。
<x>
  <y>some</y>
  <y>1234</y>
</x>
<x>
  <y>dumb</y>
  <y>4321</y>
</x>
<x>
  <y>thing</y>
  <y>6534</y>
</x>
<x>
  <y>someone</y>
  <y>65432</y>
</x>
<x>
  <y>did</y>
  <y>43287</y>
</x>

试试看:
DECLARE @csv VARCHAR(100)='some:1234,dumb:4321,thing:6534,someone:65432,did:43287';

SELECT x.value('y[1]','nvarchar(max)') AS Item
      ,x.value('y[2]','nvarchar(max)') AS [Value]
FROM (SELECT CAST('<x><y>' + REPLACE(REPLACE((SELECT @csv AS [*] FOR XML PATH('')),',','</y></x><x><y>'),':','</y><y>') + '</y></x>' AS XML)) t(casted)
CROSS APPLY t.casted.nodes('/x') A(x);

更新

与表数据相同
DECLARE @things TABLE
(
    Id int identity(1,1) not null,
    [User] int not null,
    [Values] varchar(256)
)
insert into @things([USER],[Values]) values
(100,'some:1234,dumb:4321,thing:6534,someone:65432,did:43287'),
(101,'this:31234,is:43221,so wrong:65482');

SELECT t.Id
      ,t.[User]
      ,x.value('y[1]','nvarchar(max)') AS Item
      ,x.value('y[2]','nvarchar(max)') AS [Value]
FROM @things t
CROSS APPLY (SELECT CAST('<x><y>' + REPLACE(REPLACE((SELECT t.[Values] AS [*] FOR XML PATH('')),',','</y></x><x><y>'),':','</y><y>') + '</y></x>' AS XML)) A(casted)
CROSS APPLY A.casted.nodes('/x') B(x);
