Comment on Convert table to CSV string in SQL Server by Gordon

Here’s a faster variant of the code you gave:

DECLARE @Csv NVARCHAR(MAX)
SET @Csv = ”
SELECT @Csv = @Csv + COALESCE(Name, ”) + ‘,’
FROM Animals
SET @Csv = SUBSTRING(@Csv 1, LEN(@Csv) – 1)
SELECT @Csv

…and another even faster, albeit hacky variant:
DECLARE @Csv NVARCHAR(MAX)
SELECT @Csv =
(
SELECT COALESCE(Name, ”) + ‘,’
FROM Animal
FOR XML PATH(”)
)
SET @Csv = SUBSTRING(@Csv, 1, LEN(@Csv) – 1)
SELECT @Csv

(I’m using SQL Server 2005)

Comment on SQL Server 2008 will have IntelliSense by Chris

MS has committed to churning out a new SQL Server version every 2 to 3 years. So SQL Server 2011 will surely have better intellisense. I’ve waited this long… pretty much don’t need it anymore. Thanks anyway MS.

SUUUUPER handy, I never would have thought of that. Thanks a lot.

Amanda: I too need a list of ints so I’ve modified it a bit to turn the ints into strings
select @csv = coalesce(@csv + ‘, ‘, ”) + LTRIM(STR(AnimalID)) from Animals

I could only create a list of varchar elements, what about a list of int?

Another way to refresh, from looking at this problem on other blogs, is this:

EXEC sys.sp_refreshsqlmodule ‘dbo.MyProcFnOrView’;
