Question

I have this statement in T-SQL.

SELECT Bay From TABLE where uid in (
    select B_Numbers from Info_Step WHERE uid = 'number'
)

I am selecting “multiple” BAYs from TABLE where their uid is equal to a string of numbers like this:

B_Numbers = 1:45:34:98

Therefore, I should be selecting 4 different BAYs from TABLE. I basically need to split the string 1:45:34:98 up into 4 different numbers.

I’m thinking that Split() would work, but it doesn’t and I get a syntax error.
Any thoughts from the T-SQL gods would be awesome!

Here is an implementation of a split function that returns the list of numbers as a table:

Looks like this would set you on your way…
