Return Comma Separated Value From a Table

In this blog I will show you how to return a comma separated value from a table.

We will create a table variable and populate it with some data. We will retrieve the studentname column values asa  comma separated string. Let us see how to do this.

Write the following script in SQL SERVER:

DECLARE @Student TABLE
(
StudentIdintNOTNULL,
StudentNamevarchar(20),
Marks int
)


InsertInto @Student(StudentID,StudentName,Marks)Values (1,'Nitin Tyagi',200)
InsertInto @Student(StudentID,StudentName,Marks)Values (2,'Amar Singh',400)
InsertInto @Student(StudentID,StudentName,Marks)Values (3,'Vicky',300)

SELECTSUBSTRING((
SELECT','+CAST(StudentNameASVARCHAR)FROM @Student
FORXMLPATH('')), 2,10000)ASStudentName

Let us execute the query and check the output.



As we can see we get the StudentName column value asa comma separated string.
