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

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

SQL Server 2017+和SQL Azure：STRING_AGG

从SQL Server的下一个版本开始，我们终于可以跨行连接，而无需使用任何变量或XML开关。

STRING_AGG（Transact-SQL）

不分组

SELECT STRING_AGG(Name, ', ') AS Departments
FROM HumanResources.Department;

分组时：

SELECT GroupName, STRING_AGG(Name, ', ') AS Departments
FROM HumanResources.Department
GROUP BY GroupName;

带分组和子排序

SELECT GroupName, STRING_AGG(Name, ', ') WITHIN GROUP (ORDER BY Name ASC) AS Departments
FROM HumanResources.Department
GROUP BY GroupName;

Oracle 11g Release 2支持LISTAGG功能。此处的文档。

COLUMN employees FORMAT A50

SELECT deptno, LISTAGG(ename, ',') WITHIN GROUP (ORDER BY ename) AS employees
FROM   emp
GROUP BY deptno;

    DEPTNO EMPLOYEES
---------- --------------------------------------------------
        10 CLARK,KING,MILLER
        20 ADAMS,FORD,JONES,SCOTT,SMITH
        30 ALLEN,BLAKE,JAMES,MARTIN,TURNER,WARD

警告

如果生成的字符串可能超过4000个字符，请小心执行此函数。它将抛出异常。如果是这种情况，那么您需要处理异常或滚动自己的函数，以防止连接的字符串超过4000个字符。
