SQL Server中尚未通过XML data（）命令显示的一个方法是：

假设一个名为NameList的表有一列名为FName，

SELECT FName + ', ' AS 'data()'
FROM NameList
FOR XML PATH('')

返回：

"Peter, Paul, Mary, "

只需处理额外的逗号。

正如@NReilingh的注释所采用的，您可以使用以下方法删除尾随逗号。假设表和列名相同：

STUFF(REPLACE((SELECT '#!' + LTRIM(RTRIM(FName)) AS 'data()' FROM NameList
FOR XML PATH('')),' #!',', '), 1, 2, '') as Brands

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

   declare @phone varchar(max)='' 
   select @phone=@phone + mobileno +',' from  members
   select @phone

在SQLServer2005及更高版本中，使用下面的查询连接行。

DECLARE @t table
(
    Id int,
    Name varchar(10)
)
INSERT INTO @t
SELECT 1,'a' UNION ALL
SELECT 1,'b' UNION ALL
SELECT 2,'c' UNION ALL
SELECT 2,'d' 

SELECT ID,
stuff(
(
    SELECT ','+ [Name] FROM @t WHERE Id = t.Id FOR XML PATH('')
),1,1,'') 
FROM (SELECT DISTINCT ID FROM @t ) t

在MySQL中，有一个函数GROUP_CONCATT（），它允许您连接多行的值。例子：

SELECT 1 AS a, GROUP_CONCAT(name ORDER BY name ASC SEPARATOR ', ') AS people 
FROM users 
WHERE id IN (1,2,3) 
GROUP BY a

我通常使用这样的select连接SQL Server中的字符串：

with lines as 
( 
  select 
    row_number() over(order by id) id, -- id is a line id
    line -- line of text.
  from
    source -- line source
), 
result_lines as 
( 
  select 
    id, 
    cast(line as nvarchar(max)) line 
  from 
    lines 
  where 
    id = 1 
  union all 
  select 
    l.id, 
    cast(r.line + N', ' + l.line as nvarchar(max))
  from 
    lines l 
    inner join 
    result_lines r 
    on 
      l.id = r.id + 1 
) 
select top 1 
  line
from
  result_lines
order by
  id desc
