hi all,
i have to concatenate id of all a table that contains 1 lakh records.
The size of each id is 10 characters. I have tried with the following code

declare @string ntext
but it is giving the following error
Msg 2739, Level 16,
The text, ntext, and image data types are invalid for local variables.

can anybody help me to solve this issue

thanks in advance

Maybe you can tell about the whole problem you want to solve this way and maybe then here is someone to show a solution without concatenating (100,000 * 11 - 1) characters?
