想知道存储过程中的split（）

Question

DECLARE @timeRange as varchar(max)
SET @timeRange= '00:30-01:00**00:20-01:00'

DECLARE @tblTime TABLE(RowNum int identity(1,1),TimeRange ntext)

INSERT INTO @tblTime SELECT rtrim(ltrim(items)) from split(@timeRange,'**')
select *from @tblTime

The above procedure is returning three rows with the middle being null

And

DECLARE @timeRange as varchar(max)
SET @timeRange= '00:30-01:00*00:20-01:00'

DECLARE @tblTime TABLE(RowNum int identity(1,1),TimeRange ntext)

INSERT INTO @tblTime SELECT rtrim(ltrim(items)) from split(@timeRange,'*')
select *from @tblTime

The above code is returning two rows exactly what I wanted.

I'd like to know why the split() function affects my result.

I have concatenated string with ** first then split, the result is different from the string concatenated with * . EDITED: the split function is from SageFrame

Answer 1

Ignoring the \\*\\* which I assume should be ** ...

I guess (we don't know what the split function looks like) that the delimiter parameter is char(1) (or varchar(1) ). This means that ** is truncated to * , so you get 3 rows.
