Loop string and update table
Could you show me how to split @username (by ',') and update table for each item in sql.
Declare @username varchar(100)
set @username = 'Jim, 'John, 'Dave'
Update table set username = ? where user = @username
Declare @username varchar(100)
set @username = 'Jim, 'John, 'Dave'
Update table set username = ? where user = @username
you can have a where clause like
what probably is what you intend to do.
however the update table statement doesn't make any sense cause you rarely want to update the user name to a value it already has (since you searched for it).

your string looks funny
Why is "Visual Basic.NET" one of the topics on this question? It appears to be a pure SQL question. Or are you looking to do it either in SQL or VB.NET?
