    Classic article, Jeff. I have loved it (and used it extensively) since it first came out five years ago (and the discussion is still going strong!)

    With SQL 2016 just released this month, we now have the new STRING_SPLIT() function. How does that stack up against the various string splitters you have tested?

    Thank you, again, for your many contributions to our community. 🙂

    Wow. It HAS been that long, hasn't it? Thank you for the very kind feedback, David. Thank YOU for your participation in all of this.

    RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
    First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
    ________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

    Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.
