this example is very classic - I newer see ugly code and dirty data
elsewhere than on Oracle

SELECT upc.is_mil,
TRIM(column_value) src
FROM user_pool_clean upc,
unnest(string_to_array(replace(my_auds,e'\n',''), ','))
column_value;
┌────────┬─────────┐

│ 0 │ 1705562 │
│ 0 │ 1708486 │
└────────┴─────────┘
(3 rows)
SELECT upc.is_mil,
TRIM(column_value) src
FROM user_pool_clean upc,
regexp_split_to_table(replace(my_auds,e'\n',''), ',') column_value;
