Custom aggregate functions

  • Hello,

    I need an aggregate function that concatenate string values on a column.

    The msdn example here (the first one) does exactly what I need.

    My questions are:

    What is the order of the rows the strings concatenates?

    How can I make sure the order of the strings being concatenated is the one I need?

    for example I need the concatenated strings to be ordered by a date column

    Thank you,

    Iulian

  • You're going to want to use the FOR XML method, just without a delimited separator.
