Brug af en CTE til at opdele resultater på tværs af et CROSS APPLY

Måske er du på udkig efter noget som dette (det er en forenklet version, jeg brugte kun fornavn og comment_date som "identifikator"). Jeg testede det ved at bruge disse data og - for øjeblikket - billeddannelse af max len 50 for at opdele tekstkolonnen. Tip:skift comment_text datatype til VARCHAR(500)

DECLARE @Comments TABLE
(
    id INT NOT NULL IDENTITY PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED,
    comment_date DATETIME NOT NULL,
    first_name VARCHAR(50) NOT NULL,
    last_name VARCHAR(50) NOT NULL,
    comment_title VARCHAR(50) NOT NULL,
    comment_text VARCHAR(500)
);

    INSERT INTO @Comments VALUES(CURRENT_TIMESTAMP, 'Bob', 'Example','Bob''s Comment', 'Text of Bob''s comment.');
    INSERT INTO @Comments VALUES(CURRENT_TIMESTAMP, 'Alice', 'Example','Alice''s Comment'
    , 'Text of Alice''s comment that is much longer and will need to be split over multiple rows aaaaaa bbbbbb cccccc ddddddddddd eeeeeeeeeeee fffffffffffff ggggggggggggg.');

WITH CTE AS (SELECT comment_date, first_name, '<Note>'+CAST( SUBSTRING(comment_text, 1, 50) AS VARCHAR(500)) +'</Note>'comment_text, 1 AS RN
             FROM @Comments 
             UNION ALL 
             SELECT A.comment_date, A.first_name, '<Text>'+CAST( SUBSTRING(A.comment_text, B.RN*50+1, 50) AS VARCHAR(500)) +'</Text>'AS comment_text, B.RN+1 AS RN
             FROM @Comments A 
             INNER JOIN CTE B ON A.comment_date=B.comment_date AND A.first_name=B.first_name 
            WHERE  LEN(A.comment_text) > B.RN*50+1                    
             )
SELECT A.comment_date, A.first_name, '<title>'+ comment_title+'</title>' AS markup  
FROM @Comments A
UNION ALL
SELECT B.comment_date, B.first_name, B.comment_text AS markup  
FROM  CTE B ;

Output:

    comment_date        first_name  markup
2017-07-07 14:30:51.117 Bob         <title>Bob's Comment</title>
