valor de retorno en una posición de STRING_SPLIT en SQL Server 2016

Cuando OPENJSON analiza una matriz JSON, la función devuelve los índices de los elementos en el texto JSON como claves.

Para su caso esto fue:

SELECT 'z_y_x' AS splitIt
INTO #split UNION
SELECT 'a_b_c'

DECLARE @delimiter CHAR(1)='_';

SELECT * 
FROM #split
CROSS APPLY OPENJSON('["' +  REPLACE(splitIt,@delimiter,'","') + '"]') s
WHERE s.[key]=1; --zero based

Esperemos que las futuras versiones de STRING_SPLIT() incluirá esta información

Hecho:

• a la popular función divisora ​​no le gusta NVARCHAR
• la función está limitada a cadenas dentro de un volumen de 8k bytes
• Solo el caso con muchos elementos y muchas filas en VARCHAR permite que la función divisora ​​esté adelante.
• En todos los demás casos OPENJSON parece ser más o menos más rápido...
• OPENJSON puede manejar (casi) recuentos ilimitados
• OPENJSON demandas para v2016
• Todos están esperando STRING_SPLIT con la posición

ACTUALIZAR Se agregó STRING_SPLIT a la prueba

Mientras tanto, vuelvo a ejecutar la prueba con dos secciones de prueba más usando STRING_SPLIT() . Como posición tuve que devolver un valor codificado ya que esta función no devuelve el índice de la parte.

En todos los casos probados OPENJSON estuvo cerca de STRING_SPLIT ya menudo más rápido:
