SPLIT function

By Mateus Espadoto, 2013/05/25

This is a port of the SPLIT function from Perl (or VBScript). It works the same way: pass a string and
a separator, up to 4 characters long (you can change this),
and the function returns a table with the elements.
This version trims leading and trailling spaces of the
elements, just for convenience.

Example:

SELECT    strval
FROM    master.dbo.SPLIT('a and b', 'and')

returns:

strval
------
a
b
