I have two strings-
S1:='ABC,PQR,XYZ,DEF,ZXI';
S2:='567,87766,98u7,6363';
I want to insert these strings into below table.
Create table test(S1 varchar2(10),S2 varchar2(10));
How can I do this?
Also please suggest How can I put this delimited list into cursor?

Plenty of examples on this site and others on parsing a csv into rows, eg

And once you have rows...the rest is trivial, because rows can be inserted, queried, etc etc.
