  • Hi,

    What have you used cursor and split function for this work, if not then use both of these and get your result. I m sure that it will give result of your problem.

  • The whole idea of using SQL Server as relational storage engine is to not store things in a comma seperated field. You're going to have problems with that. Instead it should have been stored as a series of rows associated to the correct foreign key. Then you can run a report.

    To really get help, you'll have to post the SQL query that you're running. Also, show the structure that you've created so that anyone attempting to help doesn't have to guess.
