Question

Right now, I have a SQL Query like this one:

SELECT X, Y FROM POINTS 

It returns results like so:

X    Y ---------- 12   3 15   2 18   12 20   29 

I’d like to return results all in one row, like this (suitable for using in an HTML <AREA> tag):

XYLIST ---------- 12,3,15,2,18,12,20,29 

Is there a way to do this using just SQL?

Answer 1

DECLARE @XYList varchar(MAX) SET @XYList = ''  SELECT @XYList = @XYList + CONVERT(varchar, X) + ',' + CONVERT(varchar, Y) + ',' FROM POINTS  -- Remove last comma SELECT LEFT(@XYList, LEN(@XYList) - 1)
