Suppose I have a table (tblEmp) whose structure is like as under
Dept Emp
d1 e1
d1 e2
d1 e3
d2 e4
d2 e5
d3 e6
If I need to bring the output as
Dept DepartmentSpecificEmployees
d1 e1,e2,e3
d2 e4,e5
d3 e6
I will write the query as
select Dept,
stuff((select Emp + ',' from tblEmp t2 where t1.Dept = t2.Dept for xml path(''),1,1,'')DepartmentSpecificEmployees
from tblEmp t1
group by Dept
But this will work in Sql Server 2005+.
How can I achieve the same in Sql Server 2000 without any variable declaration or loop or cursor?
If I use COALESCE as an alternative, then I need to use a variable which will defeat the purpose
Please help
