SQL split values to multiple rows
csv, delimiter, mysql, sql
Solution
If you can create a numbers table, that contains numbers from 1 to the maximum fields to split, you could use a solution like this:
select
tablename.id,
SUBSTRING_INDEX(SUBSTRING_INDEX(tablename.name, ',', numbers.n), ',', -1) name
from
numbers inner join tablename
on CHAR_LENGTH(tablename.name)
-CHAR_LENGTH(REPLACE(tablename.name, ',', ''))>=numbers.n-1
order by
id, n
Please see fiddle here.
If you cannot create a table, then a solution can be this:
select
tablename.id,
SUBSTRING_INDEX(SUBSTRING_INDEX(tablename.name, ',', numbers.n), ',', -1) name
from
(select 1 n union all
select 2 union all select 3 union all
select 4 union all select 5) numbers INNER JOIN tablename
on CHAR_LENGTH(tablename.name)
-CHAR_LENGTH(REPLACE(tablename.name, ',', ''))>=numbers.n-1
order by
id, n
