What do you mean by : declare @empid varchar(100) =('k','b','c')
It is an invalid statement.

It seems that you meant :

SQL

declare @empid varchar(100) = 'k,b,c'

So the solution is this :

SQL

declare @empid varchar(100) = 'k,b,c'

declare @xml xml
set @xml = N'<root><r>' + replace(@empid, ',','</r><r>') + '</r></root>'

select * from table where id in
(
select r.value('.','varchar(max)')  as item
from @xml.nodes('//root/r') as records(r)
)

Hope it helps.

Solution 2

Try select * from table where id in (' + @empid + ')'

Building Dynamic SQL In a Stored Procedure[^] should help you out.
