  • I don't believe you can do what you are trying. Commas are not integers. The data you are trying to put into @na is a string, therefore the datatype needs to be char or varchar.

  • Also you are trying to misuse EXEC. Is this what you are trying to do?

    DECLARE @na varchar(100), @sisi int, @mmh char(10)

    set @na ='1,2,3,4,5'

    set @sisi='2'

    SET @mmh='555'

    UPDATE [Gibor_h].[dbo].[Sn]

    SET [sisi] = @sisi,

    [mmh] = @mmh

    WHERE charindex(CONVERT(varchar,[na]),','+@na+',') > 0

    Far away is close at hand in the images of elsewhere.

  • DECLARE @na varchar(100)

    set @na ='1,2,3,4,5'

    DELETE FROM [Gibor_h].[dbo].[Sn]

    WHERE charindex(','+CONVERT(varchar,[na])+',',','+@na+',') > 0

    Sorry in my last post forgot to put commas around converted na column. Need to do this to make sure data matches correctly (eg ,1, in 1,2,3,4,5) otherwise 1 could be found in 9,10,11. Use the following

    WHERE charindex(','+CONVERT(varchar,[na])+',',','+@na+',') > 0

    Far away is close at hand in the images of elsewhere.
