Hi,

I have a table where each row in column X contains product ids separated by commas.
Code: 
        X
Row 1   123,334,445
Row 2   223,123
Row 3   033,445,110,331

How can I write a query that returns each product id in a row? In the above example, the query would return
Code: 
       Query
Row 1  123
Row 2  334
Row 3  445
Row 4  223
Row 5  123
etc...

Is this possible with sql? Thank you in advance.

Regards,
Min

It can be done, but I think it would be rather labor intensive. Why do you need to do this?
