不需要光标…while循环就足够了。

------------------------------
-- Setup
------------------------------

DECLARE @Source TABLE
(
  id int,
  Name varchar(30),
  Value int
)

DECLARE @Target TABLE
(
  id int,
  Result varchar(max) 
)


INSERT INTO @Source(id, Name, Value) SELECT 1, 'A', 4
INSERT INTO @Source(id, Name, Value) SELECT 1, 'B', 8
INSERT INTO @Source(id, Name, Value) SELECT 2, 'C', 9


------------------------------
-- Technique
------------------------------

INSERT INTO @Target (id)
SELECT id
FROM @Source
GROUP BY id

DECLARE @id int, @Result varchar(max)
SET @id = (SELECT MIN(id) FROM @Target)

WHILE @id is not null
BEGIN
  SET @Result = null

  SELECT @Result =
    CASE
      WHEN @Result is null
      THEN ''
      ELSE @Result + ', '
    END + s.Name + ':' + convert(varchar(30),s.Value)
  FROM @Source s
  WHERE id = @id

  UPDATE @Target
  SET Result = @Result
  WHERE id = @id

  SET @id = (SELECT MIN(id) FROM @Target WHERE @id < id)
END

SELECT *
FROM @Target

让我们变得非常简单:

SELECT stuff(
    (
    select ', ' + x from (SELECT 'xxx' x union select 'yyyy') tb 
    FOR XML PATH('')
    )
, 1, 2, '')

替换这一行:

select ', ' + x from (SELECT 'xxx' x union select 'yyyy') tb

你的疑问。

没有看到任何交叉应用的答案，也不需要XML提取。这是凯文·费尔柴尔德的一个略有不同的版本。在更复杂的查询中使用它更快更容易:

   select T.ID
,MAX(X.cl) NameValues
 from #YourTable T
 CROSS APPLY 
 (select STUFF((
    SELECT ', ' + [Name] + ':' + CAST([Value] AS VARCHAR(MAX))
    FROM #YourTable 
    WHERE (ID = T.ID) 
    FOR XML PATH(''))
  ,1,2,'')  [cl]) X
  GROUP BY T.ID

另一个不带垃圾的例子:"，TYPE).value('(./text())[1]'，'VARCHAR(MAX)')"

WITH t AS (
    SELECT 1 n, 1 g, 1 v
    UNION ALL 
    SELECT 2 n, 1 g, 2 v
    UNION ALL 
    SELECT 3 n, 2 g, 3 v
)
SELECT g
        , STUFF (
                (
                    SELECT ', ' + CAST(v AS VARCHAR(MAX))
                    FROM t sub_t
                    WHERE sub_t.g = main_t.g
                    FOR XML PATH('')
                )
                , 1, 2, ''
        ) cg
FROM t main_t
GROUP BY g

输入-输出是

*   n   *   g   *   v   *       *   g   *   cg      *
*   -   *   -   *   -   *       *   -   *   -       *

SQL Server 2005及其后续版本允许您创建自己的自定义聚合函数，包括像连接这样的功能—请参阅链接文章底部的示例。

一个例子是

在Oracle中可以使用LISTAGG聚合函数。

原始记录

name   type
------------
name1  type1
name2  type2
name2  type3

Sql

SELECT name, LISTAGG(type, '; ') WITHIN GROUP(ORDER BY name)
FROM table
GROUP BY name

导致

name   type
------------
name1  type1
name2  type2; type3
