Try this:

SQL

DECLARE @XYList AS varchar(MAX) -- Leave as NULL

SELECT @XYList = COALESCE(@XYList + ',', '') + CONVERT(nvarchar(20), ID)+ ',' 
FROM emp

Solution 2

Something like this:

Select (Stuff((Select ', ' + FName From Accounts FOR XML PATH('')),1,2,''))

Btw, did you try to google for this? I posted the following link years ago :)

If you are using is higher than the SQL2000 version, you can use FOR XML PATH.But if you Use Sql2000.
like this :

SQL

declare @s varchar(8000)
set @s = ''
select @s = @s + cloumnname + ',' from tablename where ...
set @s = stuff(@s,len(@s),1,'')
