Question

I have table with stricture as follows :

100      Text 1     23
100      Text 2     24
100      Text 3     25
100      Text 4     26

Can i get this in one row table as (Ticket will be same for all rows)

Ticket   Comment

100      23 Said Text 1 - 24 Said Text 2 -  25 Said Text 3 - 26 Said Text 4

By some SQL Query ?(Sql Server 2008)

Answer 1

You can use FOR XML PATH:

SELECT Ticket, 
  STUFF((SELECT distinct ' - ' + cast(UpdatedBy as varchar(20)) + ' ' + comment
              from yourtable t2
              where t1.Ticket = t2.Ticket
            FOR XML PATH(''), TYPE

            ).value('.', 'NVARCHAR(MAX)') 
        ,1,2,'') comments
from yourtable t1
group by ticket

See SQL Fiddle with Demo

Result:

| TICKET |                                       COMMENTS |
-----------------------------------------------------------
|    100 |  23 Text 1 - 24 Text 2 - 25 Text 3 - 26 Text 4 |
