    Not sure. I wasn't sure how to frame this, but I've seen the concatenation question regularly, and sometimes with some aggregation or summary (like counting responses and listing them).

    Denormalize responses to a poll with T-SQL?

    Summarizing and Displaying All Values in One Row?

    Another way to Pivot data in T-SQL?

    I'm open to suggestions.

    K. I'll think of something. You're right... it is a common question. Wayne Sheffield's article on creating CSV's is a great one but I can see the need for something that will cover things like those in the URL you cited.

    p.s. I can't speak for anyone else but it seems like the response time even just to view and article have gotten pretty slow. Clicking on "Quote" to respond to a thread seems to take a huge amount of time.

    RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
    First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
    ________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

    Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.
