提出了递归CTE解决方案，但没有提供代码。下面的代码是递归CTE的示例。

请注意，虽然结果与问题相符，但数据与给定的描述并不完全相符，因为我假设您确实希望对行组（而不是表中的所有行）执行此操作。将其更改为与表中的所有行相匹配是读者的练习。

;WITH basetable AS (
    SELECT
        id,
        CAST(name AS VARCHAR(MAX)) name,
        ROW_NUMBER() OVER (Partition BY id ORDER BY seq) rw,
        COUNT(*) OVER (Partition BY id) recs
    FROM (VALUES
        (1, 'Johnny', 1),
        (1, 'M', 2),
        (2, 'Bill', 1),
        (2, 'S.', 4),
        (2, 'Preston', 5),
        (2, 'Esq.', 6),
        (3, 'Ted', 1),
        (3, 'Theodore', 2),
        (3, 'Logan', 3),
        (4, 'Peter', 1),
        (4, 'Paul', 2),
        (4, 'Mary', 3)
    ) g (id, name, seq)
),
rCTE AS (
    SELECT recs, id, name, rw
    FROM basetable
    WHERE rw = 1

    UNION ALL

    SELECT b.recs, r.ID, r.name +', '+ b.name name, r.rw + 1
    FROM basetable b
    INNER JOIN rCTE r ON b.id = r.id AND b.rw = r.rw + 1
)
SELECT name
FROM rCTE
WHERE recs = rw AND ID=4
OPTION (MAXRECURSION 101)

我在家里无法访问SQL Server，所以我猜测这里的语法，但大致上是这样的：

DECLARE @names VARCHAR(500)

SELECT @names = @names + ' ' + Name
FROM Names

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

我真的很喜欢Dana回答的优雅，只想让它变得完整。

DECLARE @names VARCHAR(MAX)
SET @names = ''

SELECT @names = @names + ', ' + Name FROM Names

-- Deleting last two symbols (', ')
SET @sSql = LEFT(@sSql, LEN(@sSql) - 1)

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]

SELECT STUFF((SELECT ', ' + name FROM [table] FOR XML PATH('')), 1, 2, '')

下面是一个示例：

DECLARE @t TABLE (name VARCHAR(10))
INSERT INTO @t VALUES ('Peter'), ('Paul'), ('Mary')
SELECT STUFF((SELECT ', ' + name FROM @t FOR XML PATH('')), 1, 2, '')
--Peter, Paul, Mary
