I am using currently the SUBSTRING function.For example, I can select only one part from that string above, let say between "SET" and "=" parts.SUBSTRING(statement,NULLIF(CHARINDEX('SET',statement),0)+LEN('SET')+0,NULLIF(CHARINDEX('=',statement),0)-(NULLIF(CHARINDEX('SET',statement),0)+LEN('SET')+0))But, in my case I need multiple parts. |

| It is better to do it vai a trigger using UPDATE() function. If you want to do this in application, split the string by comma and again split the result by =MadhivananFailing to plan is Planning to fail |
