I want to create stored procedure which will give output rows from "values that are passed as one parameter (comma seperated) to store procedure".

Question

Hello,
I want to create stored procedure which will give output rows from "values that are passed as one parameter (comma seperated) to store procedure".
Suppose , 
Parameter value : person 1,person2,person3 
table structure : 
Project Name | officers 1 | officers 2
here, officers 1 or officers 2 may contain names of multiple people.
expected OUTPUT : distinct list(rows) of projects where person 1 or person 2 or person 3 is either officer1 or officer 2. 
please explain or provide solution in detail 
- Thanks

Hi Visakh,
Thanks for reply.
But the solution you provided giving me right output only if officer 1 or officer 2 contains single value , not with comma seperated value.
Your solution is working fine for following scenario : 
Project 
Officers 1
Officers 2
p1
of11
off21
p2
of12
off22
with parameter : of11,off22 : it will give expected output
And its not working in case of :
Project 
Officers 1
Officers 2
p1
of11,of12
off21,off23
p2
of12,of13
off22,off24
with parameter : of11,off22 : it will not give any row in output
I need patten matching not exact match :) 
ok
if thats the case use this modified logic
CREATE PROC GetProjectDetails
@PersonList varchar(5000)
AS
SELECT p.*
FROM ProjectTable p
INNER JOIN dbo.ParseValues(@PersonList,',')f
ON ',' + p.[officers 1] + ',' LIKE '%,' + f.val + ',%'
OR ',' + p.[officers 2] + ',' LIKE '%,' + f.val + ',%'
GO
Keep in mind that what you've done is a wrong design approach
You should not be storing multiples values like this as comma separated list in a single column. Learn about normalization . This is in violation of 1st Normal Form
