• This seems to work fine. There is no reason it should change just because it is in a view.

    if OBJECT_ID('Something') is not null

    drop table Something

    GO

    create table Something

    (

    ID int,

    Type varchar(10),

    Term varchar(10)

    )

    GO

    insert Something

    select 1, 'Subject', 'sky' union all

    select 2, 'Next', 'earth' union all

    select 2, 'Subject', 'video' union all

    select 3, 'Test', 'black' union all

    select 4, 'Subject', 'white' union all

    select 4, 'Subject', 'paper' union all

    select 4, 'Forms', 'red' union all

    select 4, 'Subject', 'stone' union all

    select 5, 'Test', 'head' union all

    select 6, 'Subject', 'leg' union all

    select 6, 'Subject', 'water'

    GO

    select * from Something

    --here is the code not in a view

    SELECT id,

    Stuff((SELECT ', ' + Term

    FROM Something s2

    WHERE s1.id = s2.id

    and s2.Type = 'Subject'

    ORDER BY s2.Term

    FOR XML PATH('')), 1, 1, '') as Result

    FROM Something s1

    where Type = 'Subject'

    GROUP BY id

    go

    create view MyView as

    SELECT id,

    Stuff((SELECT ', ' + Term

    FROM Something s2

    WHERE s1.id = s2.id

    and s2.Type = 'Subject'

    ORDER BY s2.Term

    FOR XML PATH('')), 1, 1, '') as Result

    FROM Something s1

    where Type = 'Subject'

    GROUP BY id

    go

    select * from myview
