Insert multiple comma separated columns as a single row in SQL server - sql-server

Question

i have a table like this
CREATE TABLE #tbl(PackId NVARCHAR(MAX),AmntRemain NVARCHAR(MAX),AmntUsed NVARCHAR(MAX),IsCount NVARCHAR(MAX),IsValue NVARCHAR(MAX))
INSERT INTO #tbl VALUES('1,2','10,20','10,20','1,0','0,1')
above table output is
my concern is how to get output like below
how to insert data into a table of above table data as all columns individual value as a independent row

Answer 1

You should never store your data like this. You should really fix your etl processes and database schema per all the comments on your question.
Using cross apply(values ...) to unpivot your data, splitting the strings, and using conditional aggregation to pivot the data back to rows:
In SQL Server 2016+ you can use string_split().
In SQL Server pre-2016, using a CSV Splitter table valued function by Jeff Moden:
;with cte as (
select
Id = row_number() over (order by (select null)) /* adding an id to uniquely identify rows */
, *
from #tbl
)
select
cte.Id
, s.ItemNumber
, PackId = max(case when u.column_name = 'PackId' then s.item end)
, AmntRemain = max(case when u.column_name = 'AmntRemain' then s.item end)
, AmntUsed = max(case when u.column_name = 'AmntUsed' then s.item end)
, IsCount = max(case when u.column_name = 'IsCount' then s.item end)
, IsValue = max(case when u.column_name = 'IsValue' then s.item end)
from cte
cross apply (values ('PackId',PackId),('AmntRemain',AmntRemain),('AmntUsed',AmntUsed),('IsCount',IsCount),('IsValue',IsValue)) u (column_name,column_value)
cross apply dbo.delimitedsplit8K(u.column_value,',') s
group by cte.Id, s.ItemNumber
rextester demo: http://rextester.com/ZIFFQX41171
returns:
+----+------------+--------+------------+----------+---------+---------+
| Id | ItemNumber | PackId | AmntRemain | AmntUsed | IsCount | IsValue |
+----+------------+--------+------------+----------+---------+---------+
| 1 | 1 | 1 | 10 | 10 | 1 | 0 |
| 1 | 2 | 2 | 20 | 20 | 0 | 1 |
+----+------------+--------+------------+----------+---------+---------+

Answer 2

You want to insert into 2 rows. Try:
INSERT INTO #tbl VALUES
('1','10','10','1','0')
,('2','20','20','0','1')

Answer 3

Just about any parse/split function will do. The one supplied below also returns an Item Sequence Number which can be used to join and the individual elements in an appropriate row.
The number of elements are NOT fixed, one record could have 2 while another has 5.
I should add, if you can't use or want a UDF, it would be a small matter to create an in-line approach.
Example
Declare #Staging TABLE (PackId NVARCHAR(MAX),AmntRemain NVARCHAR(MAX),AmntUsed NVARCHAR(MAX),IsCount NVARCHAR(MAX),IsValue NVARCHAR(MAX))
INSERT INTO #Staging VALUES
('1,2','10,20','10,20','1,0','0,1')
Select B.*
From #Staging A
Cross Apply (
Select PackId = B1.RetVal
,AmntRemain = B2.RetVal
,AmntUsed = B3.RetVal
,IsCount = B4.RetVal
,IsValue = B5.RetVal
From [dbo].[udf-Str-Parse-8K](A.PackId,',') B1
Join [dbo].[udf-Str-Parse-8K](A.AmntRemain,',') B2 on B1.RetSeq=B2.RetSeq
Join [dbo].[udf-Str-Parse-8K](A.AmntUsed,',') B3 on B1.RetSeq=B3.RetSeq
Join [dbo].[udf-Str-Parse-8K](A.IsCount,',') B4 on B1.RetSeq=B4.RetSeq
Join [dbo].[udf-Str-Parse-8K](A.IsValue,',') B5 on B1.RetSeq=B5.RetSeq
) B
Returns
PackId AmntRemain AmntUsed IsCount IsValue
1 10 10 1 0
2 20 20 0 1
The UDF if interested
CREATE FUNCTION [dbo].[udf-Str-Parse-8K] (#String varchar(max),#Delimiter varchar(25))
Returns Table
As
Return (
with cte1(N) As (Select 1 From (Values(1),(1),(1),(1),(1),(1),(1),(1),(1),(1)) N(N)),
cte2(N) As (Select Top (IsNull(DataLength(#String),0)) Row_Number() over (Order By (Select NULL)) From (Select N=1 From cte1 a,cte1 b,cte1 c,cte1 d) A ),
cte3(N) As (Select 1 Union All Select t.N+DataLength(#Delimiter) From cte2 t Where Substring(#String,t.N,DataLength(#Delimiter)) = #Delimiter),
cte4(N,L) As (Select S.N,IsNull(NullIf(CharIndex(#Delimiter,#String,s.N),0)-S.N,8000) From cte3 S)
Select RetSeq = Row_Number() over (Order By A.N)
,RetVal = LTrim(RTrim(Substring(#String, A.N, A.L)))
From cte4 A
);

--Much faster than str-Parse, but limited to 8K
--Select * from [dbo].[udf-Str-Parse-8K]('Dog,Cat,House,Car',',')
--Select * from [dbo].[udf-Str-Parse-8K]('John||Cappelletti||was||here','||')

Answer 4

You can't, unless your inserting data from another table you will have to create individual insert statements for each row you want to create.
