Question

My requirement is like. I have 3 column & 1 row.

Column A -> Value a
Column B -> Value b
Column C -> Value 123

I have to split value in column C and get 3 rows from that, and also copy values from another columns. I have to get 3 rows and it should be like:

Column A -> Value a , a , a
Column B -> Value b , b , b
Column C -> Value 1, 2, 3

Any Idea?

try this:

create table test(cola varchar(10),colb varchar(10),colc varchar(10))

insert into test select 'a','b','123'


    ;WITH CTE AS(
    select cola,colb,LEFT(colc,1) colc,RIGHT(colc,len(colc)-1) as rem from test
    union all
    select cola,colb,LEFT(rem,1) colc,RIGHT(rem,len(rem)-1) as rem from CTE
    where LEN(rem) >= 1
    )
    select cola,colb,colc from CTE
