查找字符串最长的单词与SQL

Question

我发现下面的代码片段在线：

DECLARE @str VARCHAR(5000)= 'aaaa bbbbb cccccccc ddddddddddddddddddd' 

SELECT TOP 1 Split.a.value('.', 'VARCHAR(100)') as longest_Word 
FROM (SELECT Cast ('<M>' + Replace(@str, ' ', '</M><M>') + '</M>' AS XML) AS Data) AS A 
     CROSS APPLY Data.nodes ('/M') AS Split(a) 
ORDER BY Len(Split.a.value('.', 'VARCHAR(100)')) DESC 

其中发现在一个文本文件中最长的单词（“ddddddddddddddddddd在这种情况下）。但是，我不知道如何在某一列中应用此行，以便在每行的旁边添加一列，告诉我在SQL Server中最长的单词是什么。

在SQL Server中的每一列在其中需要搜索应该是这样的旁边添加到它的额外的列：

COLUMN 1  RESULT 
ABC ABCD  ABCD 
BC BCDE  BCDE 
9II IIIIV IIIIV 
...   ...

简单CROSS APPLY可以帮助在这里。

请注意，我用我自己的XML解析器，因为它是 “XML安全”

Declare @YourTable table ([COLUMN 1] varchar(max)) 
Insert Into @YourTable values 
('ABC ABCD'), 
('BC BCDE'), 
('9II IIIIV') 

Select A.[COLUMN 1] 
     ,Result = B.RetVal 
From @YourTable A 
Cross Apply (
       Select Top 1 * 
       From (
         Select RetSeq = Row_Number() over (Order By (Select null)) 
           ,RetVal = LTrim(RTrim(B.i.value('(./text())[1]', 'varchar(max)'))) 
         From (Select x = Cast('<x>' + replace((Select replace(A.[COLUMN 1],' ','§§Split§§') as [*] For XML Path('')),'§§Split§§','</x><x>')+'</x>' as xml).query('.')) as A 
         Cross Apply x.nodes('x') AS B(i) 
         ) B1 
       Order by Len(RetVal) Desc,RetSeq 
      ) B 

返回

COLUMN 1 Result 
ABC ABCD ABCD 
BC BCDE BCDE 
9II IIIIV IIIIV 

编辑 - 要显示纽带

Declare @YourTable table ([COLUMN 1] varchar(max)) 
Insert Into @YourTable values 
('ABC ABCD'), 
('BC BCDE 1234'), 
('9II IIIIV') 

Select A.[COLUMN 1] 
     ,Result = B.RetVal 
From @YourTable A 
Cross Apply (
       Select Top 1 with ties * 
       From (
         Select RetSeq = Row_Number() over (Order By (Select null)) 
           ,RetVal = LTrim(RTrim(B.i.value('(./text())[1]', 'varchar(max)'))) 
         From (Select x = Cast('<x>' + replace((Select replace(A.[COLUMN 1],' ','§§Split§§') as [*] For XML Path('')),'§§Split§§','</x><x>')+'</x>' as xml).query('.')) as A 
         Cross Apply x.nodes('x') AS B(i) 
         ) B1 
       Order by Dense_Rank() over (Order by Len(RetVal) Desc) 
      ) B 

退货

COLUMN 1  Result 
ABC ABCD  ABCD 
BC BCDE 1234 BCDE --<< Tie 
BC BCDE 1234 1234 --<< Tie Added for Illustration 
9II IIIIV  IIIIV
