SQL String Split With | Pipe

I've got a dilemma here. I'm currently reading records into EasyListBox (ELB) dropdownlist. The criteria in the dropdownlist is based on the select from another ELB dropdownlist. The problem is that the data contains rows with pipes that serve as separters. For example, one of the options that comes back now might be 123 | 456 | 789. I need to be able to make each of them its own row in the dropdownlist. Can anyone advice? Most records don't have any pipes and come throught fine, but some dont.

My code below: 

Dim sAT As String = Replace(elbAttribute.SelectedValue, "'", "''") 

Dim adapter As New SQLDataAdapter("Select Feature_Type As Attribute_Name, FEATURE_TEXT_VALUE as Attribute_Value, (select distinct FILTER_FAMILY_FEATURE_EXCLUDED.FEATURE_TYPE_ID from FILTER_PROFILES, FILTER_FAMILY_FEATURE_EXCLUDED, FAMILY_ALLOWED_FEATURE_TYPES, SHARED_FEATURE_TYPES, SHARED_FEATURE_VALUES where FILTER_PROFILES.FILTER_PROFILE_NAME = 'MAQ' And FILTER_PROFILES.FILTER_PROFILE_ID = FILTER_FAMILY_FEATURE_EXCLUDED.FILTER_PROFILE_ID And FAMILY_ALLOWED_FEATURE_TYPES.FAMILY_ID = FILTER_FAMILY_FEATURE_EXCLUDED.FAMILY_ID And FILTER_FAMILY_FEATURE_EXCLUDED.FEATURE_TYPE_ID = SHARED_FEATURE_TYPES.FEATURE_TYPE_ID And (SHARED_FEATURE_TYPES.Feature_Type_ID = SHARED_FEATURE_VALUES.Feature_Type_ID And left(FEATURE_TYPE, 4) <> 'CPLV' And Feature_Type = '" & sAT & "')) As ExclusionFlag From SHARED_FEATURE_TYPES, SHARED_FEATURE_VALUES, PRODUCT_FEATURE_VALUES Where PRODUCT_FEATURE_VALUES.FEATURE_VALUE_ID = SHARED_FEATURE_VALUES.Feature_Value_ID And SHARED_FEATURE_TYPES.Feature_Type_ID = SHARED_FEATURE_VALUES.Feature_Type_ID And left(FEATURE_TYPE, 4) <> 'CPLV' And Feature_Type = '" & sAT & "' UNION Select distinct Column_Name As Attribute_Name, SMALL_TEXT_VALUE As Attribute_Value, (select FILTER_ATTRIBUTES_EXCLUDED.EXT_ATT_ID from FILTER_PROFILES, FILTER_ATTRIBUTES_EXCLUDED where FILTER_PROFILES.FILTER_PROFILE_NAME = 'MAQ' And FILTER_PROFILES.FILTER_PROFILE_ID = FILTER_ATTRIBUTES_EXCLUDED.FILTER_PROFILE_ID And FILTER_ATTRIBUTES_EXCLUDED.EXT_ATT_ID = EXTENDED_ATTRIBUTES.EXT_ATT_ID) As ExclusionFlag From EXTENDED_ATTRIBUTE_VALUES, EXTENDED_ATTRIBUTES, PRODUCTS Where PRODUCTS.PRODUCT_ID = EXTENDED_ATTRIBUTE_VALUES.PRODUCT_ID And not SMALL_TEXT_VALUE is null And EXTENDED_ATTRIBUTE_VALUES.EXT_ATT_ID > 1499 And EXTENDED_ATTRIBUTE_VALUES.EXT_ATT_ID = EXTENDED_ATTRIBUTES.EXT_ATT_ID And Column_Name = '" & sAT & "'", myConnection)
 Dim dt As New DataTable()
    adapter.Fill(dt)
 elbValue.DataSource = dt
    elbValue.DataBind()
