Функция SQL group_concat в SQL Server

1. ЗА XML ПЪТ трик и статия
2. CLR дефиниран от потребителя агрегат
3. за sql сървър предишна версия 2005 - временни таблици

Пример за #1

DECLARE @t TABLE (EmpId INT, EmpName VARCHAR(100))
INSERT @t VALUES
(1, 'Mary'),(1, 'John'),(1, 'Sam'),(2, 'Alaina'),(2, 'Edward')
SELECT distinct
    EmpId,
    (
        SELECT EmpName+','
        FROM @t t2
        WHERE t2.EmpId = t1.EmpId
        FOR XML PATH('')
    ) Concatenated
FROM @t t1

Как да премахнете последната запетая - решавате сами
