 Splits a string into substrings separated by 'separator'.'separator' must be a string constant consisting of exactly one character.
 Returns an array of selected substrings. Empty substrings may be selected if the separator occurs at the beginning or end of the string, or if there are multiple consecutive separators.
 
+**Example:**
+
+```sql
+SELECT splitByChar(',', '1,2,3,abcde')
+```
+```text
+┌─splitByChar(',', '1,2,3,abcde')─┐

-The same as above, but it uses a string of multiple characters as the separator. The string must be non-empty.
