Converting comma delimited string to multiple columns in sql server

Question

I want to extract specific strings separated by a comma and parse across the specific columns in SQL server 2008. The table structure in SQL server is as follows:

Answer 1

Correct my line of thinking here...

Instead of trying to "Comma" delimit a field it would be more prudent to have a second table where you can put your name/value pairs in.

Modify SAMP to have the following field:
ID - integer - Primary Key Auto increment

Create a table NVP
ID - integer - Primary Key Auto increment
SAMPID - integer Foreign key SAMP.ID
Name - varchar(255) - or any realistic size
Value - varchar(255) - or any realistic size

This will allow for the following:
1.  Unlimited fields
2.  Faster Data Access
3.  Since you are not trying to shove several values into 1 field, you now don't have to worry about running out of space.
4.  Less code to worry about trying to split/join data
5.  No longer restricted where you can't store a "," as one of your names or values.

SQL tables should always be relational to take advantage of the power SQL has to offer.
