remover duplicatas da string do operador de vírgula ou pipeline

1. Use o REPLACE() função para converter delimitadores diferentes no mesmo delimitador.
2. Use o REPLACE() função para injetar tags XML de fechamento e abertura para criar um fragmento XML
3. Use o CAST(expr AS XML) função para converter o fragmento acima no tipo de dados XML
4. Use OUTER APPLY para aplicar a função com valor de tabela nodes() para dividir o fragmento XML em suas tags XML constituintes. Isso retorna cada tag XML em uma linha separada.
5. Extraia apenas o valor da tag XML usando o value() função e retorna o valor usando o tipo de dados especificado.
6. Anexar uma vírgula após o valor mencionado acima.
7. Observe que esses valores são retornados em linhas separadas. O uso do DISTINCT palavra-chave agora remove linhas duplicadas (ou seja, valores).
8. Use o FOR XML PATH('') cláusula para concatenar os valores em várias linhas em uma única linha.
