Split a String into Rows using Stored Procedure

 This article shows how to Split a String into Rows using Stored Procedure.

Let's say we have a table with below  script and data.

CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Employees](

	[EmployeeId] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
	[EmployeeName] [nvarchar](max) NULL,
	[EmployeeGender] [nvarchar](max) NULL,
	[EmployeeDOB] [nvarchar](max) NULL,
 CONSTRAINT [PK_dbo.Employees] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED 
(
	[EmployeeId] ASC
)WITH (PAD_INDEX = OFF, STATISTICS_NORECOMPUTE = OFF, IGNORE_DUP_KEY = OFF, ALLOW_ROW_LOCKS = ON, ALLOW_PAGE_LOCKS = ON) ON [PRIMARY]
) ON [PRIMARY] TEXTIMAGE_ON [PRIMARY]
 

Passing comma separated (delimited) values as Parameter to Stored Procedure

CREATE PROCEDURE GetEmployees
    @EmployeeIds VARCHAR(100)
AS
BEGIN
    SELECT EmployeeId, EmployeeName, EmployeeGender, EmployeeDOB
    FROM Employees
    WHERE EmployeeId IN(
        SELECT CAST(Item AS INTEGER)
        FROM dbo.SplitString(@EmployeeIds, ',')
    )
END
 

Execute the procedure with below statement.

EXEC GetEmployees '1,3,5'

The output should like below.
