Most succinct way to transform a CSV string to an

After posting this, I started playing with some dynamic SQL. This seems to work, but seems like there might be some security risks by using dynamic SQL - thoughts on this?

declare @rolesSql varchar(800)
select  @rolesSql = 'select ''' + replace(@roles, ',', ''' union select ''') + ''''
exec(@rolesSql)

See my answer from here

But basically you would:

Create this function in your DB:

CREATE FUNCTION dbo.Split(@origString varchar(max), @Delimiter char(1))     
returns @temptable TABLE (items varchar(max))     
as     
begin     
    declare @idx int     
    declare @split varchar(max)     

    select @idx = 1     
        if len(@origString )<1 or @origString is null  return     

    while @idx!= 0     
    begin     
        set @idx = charindex(@Delimiter,@origString)     
        if @idx!=0     
            set @split= left(@origString,@idx - 1)     
        else     
            set @split= @origString

        if(len(@split)>0)
            insert into @temptable(Items) values(@split)     

        set @origString= right(@origString,len(@origString) - @idx)     
        if len(@origString) = 0 break     
    end 
return     
end

and then call the function and pass in the string you want to split.

Select * From dbo.Split(@roles, ',')

If you're working with SQL Server compatibility level 130 then the STRING_SPLIT function is now the most succinct method available.

Usage:

SELECT * FROM string_split('Pub,RegUser,ServiceAdmin',',')

RESULT:

value
-----------
Pub
RegUser
ServiceAdmin

Using SQL Server's built in XML parsing is also an option. Of course, this glosses over all the nuances of an RFC-4180 compliant CSV.

-- Given a CSV string like this:
declare @roles varchar(800)
select  @roles = 'Pub,RegUser,ServiceAdmin'

-- Here's the XML way
select split.csv.value('.', 'varchar(100)') as value
from (
     select cast('<x>' + replace(@roles, ',', '</x><x>') + '</x>' as xml) as data
) as csv
cross apply data.nodes('/x') as split(csv)

If you are using SQL 2016+, using string_split is better, but this is a common way to do this prior to SQL 2016.

Using BULK INSERT you can import a csv file into your sql table -
