Question

I have the following query:

SELECT 
,e.EmployeeCode
,c.CompanyName
,v.Violation
FROM dbo.Employee e
INNER JOIN dbo.Company c ON c.companyid = e.companyid
INNER JOIN dbo.Violation v ON v.CompanyId = e.CompanyId AND v.EmployeeId = e.EmployeeId

It returns results like the following:

EmployeeCode    CompanyName     Violation
     1             Test           32
     1             Test           12 
     2             ABC1           32

Row Count (3) <—-Not part of the results, just showing the number of rows I have.

Is there a way to return the results as so?

EmployeeCode   CompanyName    Violation
     1              Test          32
                                  12
     2               ABC1         32

Row Count (2) <—-Not part of the results, just showing the number of rows I want.

Basically I want it to show the Violations with a cariage return in the same row.

I was thinking about using the FOR XML Path, but would this work with a carriage return? And how would I even do that?

Answer 1

I would suggest to do such transformations on application level where they really makes sense for some kind of reporting stuff.
