TABLE_B
ID| TABLE_A_ID | FIELD1
==========================
1 | 1 | H
2 | 1 | P
3 | 1 | A
3 | 2 | P
Needs to produce the following output (without using cursors)... Is this possible?
| A | B | H,P,A |

ASKER
listed in the tags at the bottom of the question.
here you go
select t1.field1, t1.field2, replace((select field1 as [data()] from tableb t2 where t2.tablea_id = t1.id for xml path('')),' ',',') as field3
from tablea t1
order by t1.id
select t1.field1, t1.field2, replace((select field1 as [data()] from tableb t2 where t2.tablea_id = t1.id for xml path('')),' ',',') as field3
from tablea t1
order by t1.id

Does not work.
Line1: Incorrect syntax near 'xml'

|TABLE_AFIELD1|TABLE_aFIEL
==================
