No lo recomiendo, pero me las arreglé para resolverlo.
Mesa:
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[names](
[id] [int] NULL,
[myId] [int] NULL,
[name] [char](25) NULL
) ON [PRIMARY]
Datos:
INSERT INTO names values (1,3,'Bob')
INSERT INTO names values 2,3,'Chet')
INSERT INTO names values 3,3,'Dave')
INSERT INTO names values 4,4,'Jim')
INSERT INTO names values 5,4,'Jose')
INSERT INTO names values 6,5,'Nick')
Consulta:
WITH CTE (id, myId, Name, NameCount)
AS (SELECT id,
myId,
Cast(Name AS VARCHAR(225)) Name,
1 NameCount
FROM (SELECT Row_number() OVER (PARTITION BY myId ORDER BY myId) AS id,
myId,
Name
FROM names) e
WHERE id = 1
UNION ALL
SELECT e1.id,
e1.myId,
Cast(Rtrim(CTE.Name) + ',' + e1.Name AS VARCHAR(225)) AS Name,
CTE.NameCount + 1 NameCount
FROM CTE
INNER JOIN (SELECT Row_number() OVER (PARTITION BY myId ORDER BY myId) AS id,
myId,
Name
FROM names) e1
ON e1.id = CTE.id + 1
AND e1.myId = CTE.myId)
SELECT myID,
Name
FROM (SELECT myID,
Name,
(Row_number() OVER (PARTITION BY myId ORDER BY namecount DESC)) AS id
FROM CTE) AS p
WHERE id = 1
Según lo solicitado, aquí está el método XML:
SELECT myId,
STUFF((SELECT ',' + rtrim(convert(char(50),Name))
FROM namestable b
WHERE a.myId = b.myId
FOR XML PATH('')),1,1,'') Names
FROM namestable a
GROUP BY myId
