In this article I am going to explain about how to convert row values in a table to single concatenated string.

Create Table

CREATE TABLE ConcatenationDemo

(

 RowID   INT PRIMARY KEY 

,Txt     VARCHAR(MAX)

)

INSERT INTO ConcatenationDemo

(RowID,Txt)

 SELECT 1,'A1'UNION all

 SELECT 2,'A2'UNION all

 SELECT 3,'A3'UNION all

 SELECT 4,'A4'UNION all

 SELECT 5,'A5'UNION all

 SELECT 6,'A6'UNION all

 SELECT 7,'A7'UNION all

 SELECT 8,'A8'

 

Output:

Type following code to concatenate Txt field of table

DECLARE @Txt1 VARCHAR(MAX)

SET @Txt1=''

 

SELECT  @Txt1 = @Txt1 + Txt +','

FROM    ConcatenationDemo

SELECT  LEFT(@Txt1,LEN(@Txt1)-1) AS Txt
