Question

i have this query and its work fine for me

SELECT STUFF(
(SELECT ','+SLT_SubListName  FROM sublists where SLT_SubListId in (1,2)  FOR XML PATH('')),1,1,'');

but when i change the in parameters (1,2) into the ‘select SBS_SubListId from subscriber where SBS_SubscriberId=1’
which also return the 1,2

SELECT STUFF(
(SELECT ','+SLT_SubListName  FROM sublists where SLT_SubListId in (select SBS_SubListId from subscriber where SBS_SubscriberId=1
)  FOR XML PATH('')),1,1,'');

its giving me the error which is the following

Conversion failed when converting the varchar value ‘1,2,4,5’ to data type int.

if anybody needs i can also post my table schema here.
thanks

you have to first split these comma sepered values on comma bases, and then apply converrsion.
