Format Email Addresses in SQL Server Using DelimitedSplit8K_LEAD Function
Using Delimited Split Function to Format Email Addresses in SQL Server Overview In this response, we will explore how to use the DelimitedSplit8K_LEAD function in Microsoft SQL Server to format email addresses within a string. This function was originally designed by Jeff Moden and has been improved upon by Eirikur Eiriksson. The original function used for splitting strings in SQL Server was limited in its capabilities, but with the introduction of DelimitedSplit8K_LEAD, developers can now efficiently split large strings into smaller parts using a delimiter.
