This script has been on the SQL Server Central site for a while and has been revised a number of times. I enclose yet another revision that works with SQL Server 2005 (June CTP anyway) with much thanks to all those who have contributed to it in the past.Terry Grignon

Comments posted to this topic are about the item The string_agg function
We create the following table and then insert some records in it:
create table t1 ( id int primary key, category char(1) not null, product varchar(50) ); insert into t1 values (1, 'A', 'Product 1'), (2, 'A', 'Product 2'), (3, 'A', 'Product 3'), (4, 'B', 'Product 4'), (5, 'B', 'Product 5');What happens if we execute the following query in both Sql Server and PostgreSQL?
select id,
category,
string_agg(product, ';')
over (partition by category order by id
rows between unbounded preceding and unbounded following) as stragg
from t1; See possible answers
