Home Forums SQL Server 2005 T-SQL (SS2K5) how to verify blank spaces using substr function in SQLSERVER 2008 RE: how to verify blank spaces using substr function in SQLSERVER 2008

    If I am not mistaken, the command just replaces/removes the spaces, and the user wants to separate the word from a sentence and add single word to the table.

    If you want to parse the values then please look at the splitter I mentioned previously. It will blow the doors off a while loop for performance when splitting stings.

    declare @word varchar(125) = 'The Quick Brown Fox Jumps over a lazy Dog'

    Insert YourTable

    select Item from dbo.DelimitedSplit8K(@word, ' ')
