Multiple Rows into a Single Row
I am trying to join Multiple Rows into a single Row for this stored procedure, so that it will look like the following:
Parameter Price Method
Copper $11 200.8, 6020, 345.1
Arsenic $11 200.8, 6020
For each unique combination of Parameter and Price. The Method table of course has multiple entries for each parameter, and usually at the same price.
Here is my stored procedure so far:
CREATE PROCEDURE [sp_PriceList2]
AS
SET NOCOUNT ON
DECLARE @price DECIMAL(7, 2)
DECLARE @prmid INTEGER
DECLARE @mthdtmp NVARCHAR(30)
DECLARE @mthdrow NVARCHAR(200)
DECLARE @my_cur CURSOR
DECLARE @my_cur2 CURSOR
SELECT @mthdrow = ''
SET @my_cur = CURSOR FOR
SELECT DISTINCT PRM_ID, MTHD_PRICE FROM PARAMETERS INNER JOIN METHODS ON MTHD_PRMID = PRM_ID
WHERE MTHD_PRICE > 0
OPEN @my_cur
FETCH NEXT FROM @my_cur INTO @prmid, @price
WHILE @@FETCH_STATUS = 0
BEGIN
SET @my_cur2 = CURSOR FOR
SELECT MTHD_REF FROM METHODS WHERE MTHD_PRMID = @prmid AND MTHD_PRICE = @price
OPEN @my_cur2
FETCH NEXT FROM @my_cur2 INTO @mthdtmp
WHILE @@FETCH_STATUS = 0
BEGIN
SELECT @mthdrow = @mthdrow + @mthdtmp + ','
FETCH NEXT FROM @my_cur2 INTO @mthdtmp
END
CLOSE @my_cur2
DEALLOCATE @my_cur2
SELECT DISTINCT PRM_ID, PRM_ABBREV, MTHD_PRICE, @mthdrow FROM PARAMETERS INNER JOIN METHODS ON MTHD_PRMID = PRM_ID
WHERE PRM_ID = @prmid AND MTHD_PRICE = @price
SELECT @mthdrow = ' '
FETCH NEXT FROM @my_cur INTO @prmid, @price
END
CLOSE @my_cur
DEALLOCATE @my_cur
GO
This almost does what I want it to. It actually returns about 290 different single line tables. I need someway to merge all those together, and someway to tell when I am on my last Fetch into Cursor 2, so that I can drop that last comma off.

Thanks,
Yes I didnt mess with your code I just wanted to give you an example, I knew you were intelligent enough to figure how to make it work in your own code.

It wasn't completely what I was after, but it was close enough that I was able to figure the rest out on my own.
