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.
