I have a table with just product ID’s and category ID’s (products can be in more than one category). How can I flatten the category ID’s into a product column so I end us with this:
id | name | desc | categories
1 | test1 | lorem | 1,3,4,23
2 | test2 | ipsom | 4,6,24
It is like I need to loop into a separate table for the categories column. How can I do this or is there a better way?
There’s no in-built way to do it in MSSQL.
