SQL Insert Comma Delimited string

String = “val1, val2, va3, va4”
Insert value into col1 (String)

I am looking for an example of an insert statement that parses a string with
multi values separated by a comma. I want to parse these values and put one
Value, per row, into the same column.

Thanks

Do you want to use a stored procedure? Otherwise you will need to parse it
in VB code and send in multiple insert statements. (At least I know of no
other way)

This is a one time deal. We have a string in a web form of about 45 email
address. what I want to do is parse the sting into a new table and stop
using this string and start managing these via the DB.

So yes use VB code.

Use the String.Split(", ") to break them up into an array. Then loop through
and insert them into the DB one by one.

Done!

Dim emailString As String = "val1, val2, val3, val4, val5"
Dim srString() = Split(emailStri ng, ";")
Dim intCount As Integer = srString.Length
Dim X As Integer = 0
Dim myCommand As New SqlCommand
Dim myTrans As SqlTransaction
Dim myConnString As String =
"Server=Server; Database=Databa se;UID=;PWD=;"
Dim myConnection As New SqlConnection(m yConnString)
'Open connection
myConnection.Op en()
' Start Transaction
myTrans = myConnection.Be ginTransaction( )
myCommand.Conne ction = myConnection
myCommand.Trans action = myTrans
Do Until X = intCount
myCommand.Comma ndText = "Insert into TableName (EmailAddress)
VALUES ('" & srString(X) & "')"
myCommand.Execu teNonQuery()
X = X + 1
Loop
' Commit transaction
myTrans.Commit( )
' Close Connection
myConnection.Cl ose()

And Brian,

What was the reason (problem) in this I asked that you have sent the
question?

It are more classes which are used, so which one did give you problems?
