Hi,

I have below table in which i have countryCodes but i want the result to return in comma-seperated instead of rows

CREATE TABLE #temp
(
countrycodes INT
)

INSERT #temp SELECT '01'
INSERT #temp SELECT '02'
INSERT #temp SELECT '03'
INSERT #temp SELECT '04'

Current Output
---------------

SELECT countrycodes from #temp

CountryCodes
------------
1
2
3
4

Expected Output
---------------

1,2,3,4

Please advise.

Thanks

SELECT STUFF((SELECT ',' + CAST(countrycodes AS varchar(5)) FROM #temp ORDER BY countrycodes FOR XML PATH('')),1,1,'')
[/code]
