I need to build a comma separated string of the multiple rows returned out of query result. Select is only on one column. Below is the query I wrote for the same

Declare @Description varchar(100)
set @Description = ''
select @Description = @Description + [Description] FROM ud_LookupMGR_Data where dataid in (81,82,83,84)
select @Description

This result returns only the value of 1st row.

Pls help

Thanks

try this

Declare @Description varchar(4000)
select @Description = coalesce(@Description + ',' , Description ) + Description
FROM ud_LookupMGR_Data where dataid in (81,82,83,84)
