What is the usage of the split function in MySQL?

In MySQL, there is no built-in split function, but you can use other functions to simulate the functionality of splitting strings. One common method is using other functions to split strings.

1. Use the SUBSTRING_INDEX function to extract a portion of a string. This function can retrieve a specified portion of the string based on a specified delimiter.
2. For example, using the SUBSTRING_INDEX function to split the string “Hello,World” into two parts at the comma:
3. Choose the portion of the phrase ‘Hello,World’ before the comma as part1, and the portion after the comma as part2.
4. The output is:
5. Hello World
6. Use the SUBSTRING and INSTR functions to split a string. First, use the INSTR function to find the position of the delimiter in the string, and then use the SUBSTRING function to retrieve the corresponding substring.
7. For example, you can use the SUBSTRING and INSTR functions to split the string “Hello,World” into two parts at the comma.
8. Choose part1 as the substring of “Hello,World” starting from the first character up to the comma, then part2 as the substring starting from the character after the comma.
9. The output is:
10. Hello and World

Please note that the methods above are simulating the splitting of strings by extracting specific parts from them, and are not the actual split function.
