Solution 1

Just consider the CSV as a string type that you store into a single column. It's not very efficient to send those values all as separate values to the database server and concatenate them there. The same goes for splitting, just do this in your c# code. So it's actually a simple text/ntext or varchar column.

Good luck!

Could you maybe add the c# code to your initial question? I can then have a look at it and hopefully spot the problem. Also check this link to a simple example that might be helpful (when using that code you would need to add a comma when converting different types to a list):
