Home Forums SQL Server 2008 T-SQL (SS2K8) Need to pull the data out of a row and into a comma separated string referencing the columnID RE: Need to pull the data out of a row and into a comma separated string referencing the columnID

  • I don't think you need a loop here at all. However I am a little unclear on exactly what you are trying to do. Are you trying to generate a comma separated list of values for each column in a table or a specific column? Can you provide an example of what you want for output based on say a 2 column table with 2-3 rows of data? I just can't visualize what you want.
