I have a column that contains 2 fields which are comma delimited. How to get the field AFTER the comma.??
Example:
house,303 -> 303
Both the fields can have any number of characters but wont be more than 500 i guess..

Try this

select SUBSTRING('house,303',CHARINDEX(',','house,303')+1,LEN('house,303'))

declare @testColumn varchar(255)
set @testColumn = 'house,303'
select parsename(replace(@testColumn,',','.'),1)

[code]
declare @testColumn varchar(255)
set @testColumn = 'house,303'
select right(@testColumn, charindex(',', reverse(@testColumn)) - 1)
[/code]

or using SwePeso's fnParseString


select	dbo.fnParseString(-2, ',', @testColumn), 
	dbo.fnParseString(1, ',', @testColumn)

or what sunita would like to do:

stuff(@testColumn,1,charindex(',',@testColumn),'')
