  HI, I have the following Data (for example);

  Job Number    Date        Notes

    1               11/12/06   Dummy Data

    1               12/12/06   Another Dummy Data Line

    2               11/12/06   Just another test line

    2               10/12/06   test

  I require the final output (or tempoary table/view) as;

  1                 Dummy Data, Another Dummy Data Line

  2                 test, Just another test line

   

  I'm using a SQL view to achieve the output of notes sorted by date for each job number

  I can't get SQL View to accept a GROUP BY or DECLARE variables to build the string

   

  Any pointers would be helpful?

  - Which version of sqlserver are you using ??

  - With sql2000 you may want to take a look at user defined functions to accomplish this

  - with sql2005 a pivot might help out
