When I executed this code in SQL Server 2016, below is the error:
Procedure expects parameter 'separator' of type 'nchar(1)/nvarchar(1)'

Precisely why all of the discussion above says that the question lists an incorrect answer. 😉

--Jeff Moden

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.

I suspect a lot of people on here have their own split functions that behave just like the purported correct answer, I assumed the question was designed to show the short comings of String_Split().
How many people are still using homegrown (or "Google Found") split functions whilst eagerly awaiting the next version of String_Split?

I got the "correct" wrong answer simply because I made the faulty assumption that SQL Server would simply use the 1st character and "shave off" any subsequent characters... like it does everywhere else...

DECLARE @cars VARCHAR (200) = 'Porsche, Ferrari, Bentley, Jaguar,Range Rover', @delim NCHAR (1) = N', ';

SELECT value FROM STRING_SPLIT(@cars, @delim);

or

DECLARE @cars VARCHAR (200) = 'Porsche, Ferrari, Bentley, Jaguar,Range Rover';

SELECT * FROM dbo.DelimitedSplit8K(@cars, ', ') dsk;

Way to be consistent Microsoft... 🙁

I couldn't, for the life, of me work out why Jeff and Eirikur had a problem with the question yesterday, as I answered it on my phone. Turns out that the space is practically invisible on my phones browser, as the font loses its fixed width. >_<

I didn't know how to showcase the space in there well. Maybe I need to add a note that the parameter is comma, space?

It's fine on PC, which is more likely what people will; be viewing it on; it just making (almost) invisible on my Pixel.

Questions are never a problem, answers, on the other hand, can be problematic.
