当我试图连接两个具有一对多关系的表时，我也遇到了类似的问题。在SQL2005中，我发现XMLPATH方法可以非常容易地处理行的连接。

如果有一个名为STUDENTS的表

SubjectID       StudentName
----------      -------------
1               Mary
1               John
1               Sam
2               Alaina
2               Edward

我期望的结果是：

SubjectID       StudentName
----------      -------------
1               Mary, John, Sam
2               Alaina, Edward

我使用了以下T-SQL：

SELECT Main.SubjectID,
       LEFT(Main.Students,Len(Main.Students)-1) As "Students"
FROM
    (
        SELECT DISTINCT ST2.SubjectID, 
            (
                SELECT ST1.StudentName + ',' AS [text()]
                FROM dbo.Students ST1
                WHERE ST1.SubjectID = ST2.SubjectID
                ORDER BY ST1.SubjectID
                FOR XML PATH (''), TYPE
            ).value('text()[1]','nvarchar(max)') [Students]
        FROM dbo.Students ST2
    ) [Main]

如果您可以在开头插入逗号并使用子字符串跳过第一个逗号，那么您可以以更紧凑的方式执行相同的操作，这样就不需要执行子查询：

SELECT DISTINCT ST2.SubjectID, 
    SUBSTRING(
        (
            SELECT ','+ST1.StudentName  AS [text()]
            FROM dbo.Students ST1
            WHERE ST1.SubjectID = ST2.SubjectID
            ORDER BY ST1.SubjectID
            FOR XML PATH (''), TYPE
        ).value('text()[1]','nvarchar(max)'), 2, 1000) [Students]
FROM dbo.Students ST2

如果要处理null，可以通过添加where子句或在第一个子句周围添加另一个COALENCE来完成。

DECLARE @Names VARCHAR(8000) 
SELECT @Names = COALESCE(COALESCE(@Names + ', ', '') + Name, @Names) FROM People

对于其他答案，阅读答案的人必须知道特定的域表，例如车辆或学生。必须创建该表并用数据填充该表以测试解决方案。

下面是一个使用SQL Server“Information_Schema.Columns”表的示例。通过使用此解决方案，不需要创建表或添加数据。此示例为数据库中的所有表创建一个逗号分隔的列名列表。

SELECT
    Table_Name
    ,STUFF((
        SELECT ',' + Column_Name
        FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.Columns Columns
        WHERE Tables.Table_Name = Columns.Table_Name
        ORDER BY Column_Name
        FOR XML PATH ('')), 1, 1, ''
    )Columns
FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.Columns Tables
GROUP BY TABLE_NAME 

Oracle有两种方法：

    create table name
    (first_name varchar2(30));

    insert into name values ('Peter');
    insert into name values ('Paul');
    insert into name values ('Mary');

解决方案是1：

    select substr(max(sys_connect_by_path (first_name, ',')),2) from (select rownum r, first_name from name ) n start with r=1 connect by prior r+1=r
    o/p=> Peter,Paul,Mary

解决方案是2:

    select  rtrim(xmlagg (xmlelement (e, first_name || ',')).extract ('//text()'), ',') first_name from name
    o/p=> Peter,Paul,Mary

此方法仅适用于Teradata Aster数据库，因为它使用NPATH函数。

再次，我们有桌上学生

SubjectID       StudentName
----------      -------------
1               Mary
1               John
1               Sam
2               Alaina
2               Edward

然后使用NPATH，只需一次SELECT：

SELECT * FROM npath(
  ON Students
  PARTITION BY SubjectID
  ORDER BY StudentName
  MODE(nonoverlapping)
  PATTERN('A*')
  SYMBOLS(
    'true' as A
  )
  RESULT(
    FIRST(SubjectID of A) as SubjectID,
    ACCUMULATE(StudentName of A) as StudentName
  )
);

结果：

SubjectID       StudentName
----------      -------------
1               [John, Mary, Sam]
2               [Alaina, Edward]

我们可以使用RECUSRSIVITY、WITH CTE、union ALL，如下所示

declare @mytable as table(id int identity(1,1), str nvarchar(100))
insert into @mytable values('Peter'),('Paul'),('Mary')

declare @myresult as table(id int,str nvarchar(max),ind int, R# int)

;with cte as(select id,cast(str as nvarchar(100)) as str, cast(0 as int) ind from @mytable
union all
select t2.id,cast(t1.str+',' +t2.str as nvarchar(100)) ,t1.ind+1 from cte t1 inner join @mytable t2 on t2.id=t1.id+1)
insert into @myresult select *,row_number() over(order by ind) R# from cte

select top 1 str from @myresult order by R# desc
