I have a table with the following information
CREATE TABLE TEST2 (ID1 INT, NAM1 VARCHAR (20), PLANT VARCHAR (20))
INSERT INTO TEST2 SELECT 1,'AA1','P1'
INSERT INTO TEST2 SELECT 1,'AA1','P2'
INSERT INTO TEST2 SELECT 1,'AA1','P3'
INSERT INTO TEST2 SELECT 1,'AA1','P4'
INSERT INTO TEST2 SELECT 1,'AA1','P5'
INSERT INTO TEST2 SELECT 2,'AA2','P1'
INSERT INTO TEST2 SELECT 2,'AA2','P2'

can anybody help me out to get the result set like this:

ID1 NAME1 PLANTS
--- ------ ----------------
1 AA1 P1, P2, P3, P4, P5
2 AA2 P1, P2

thanks in advance

Hi!
Try this

create function myfun (@id int)
returnS varchar(1000)
as
begin
declare @plant varchar(1000)
select @plant=coalesce(@plant+',','')+plant from test2 where id1=@id
return @plant
end

select distinct id1,nam1,dbo.myfun(id1) as plants from test2
