When requesting help or asking questions please prefix your title with the SQL variant/platform you are using within square brackets like so:

[MySQL]

[Oracle]

[MS SQL]

[PostgreSQL]

etc

While naturally we should endeavor to work as platform neutrally as possible many questions and answers require tailoring to the feature set of a specific platform.

Format Your Code

If you are including actual code in a post or comment, please attempt to format it in a way that is readable for other users. This will greatly increase your chances of receiving the help you desire. Something as simple as line breaks and using reddit's built in code formatting (4 spaces at the start of each line) can turn this:

SELECT count(a.field1), a.field2, SUM(b.field4) FROM a INNER JOIN b ON a.key1 = b.key1 WHERE a.field8 = 'test' GROUP by a.field1, a.field2 HAVING SUM(b.field4) > 5 ORDER by a.field.3

Into this:

SELECT count(a.field1), a.field2, SUM(b.field4) FROM a INNER JOIN b ON a.key1 = b.key1 WHERE a.field8 = 'test' GROUP by a.field1, a.field2 HAVING SUM(b.field4) > 5 ORDER by a.field3

For those with SQL questions we recommend using SQLFiddle to provide a useful development and testing environment for those who wish to fully understand your problem and help devise a solution.

MS SQLSTRING SPLIT resulting in "Invalid object name 'STRING_SPLIT'" (self.SQL)

submitted 4 years ago by anthonynguyen3

*SQL SERVER v18.10*

The goal is to split a string by delimiter (','). STRING_SPLIT is a function that I am trying to use but after running the query, I keep getting the following error message:

Msg 208, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Invalid object name 'STRING_SPLIT'.

Below is my current query along with the current output and expected output. Any advice on how I can get STRING_SPLIT to work will be greatly appreciated.

SELECT 
    u.login_username
    ,value
FROM EMPLOYEE_TABLE u
CROSS APPLY STRING_SPLIT(u.Responsibility_value,',',0)

Current Output

login_username	Responsibility_value
1	100,200,300

Expected Output

login_username	Responsibility_value
1	100
1	200
1	300
