concate string and order by in display

  • Hello,

    I need one logical help to develop one logic,

    below is dll

    CREATE TABLE #X1
    (
    ID VARCHAR(10),
    CODE VARCHAR(10),
    PrimaryInd INT
    )


    INSERT INTO #X1 VALUES ('12345','01',0)
    INSERT INTO #X1 VALUES ('12345','03',0)
    INSERT INTO #X1 VALUES ('12345','04',1)

    I need to concate the string and order by PrimaryInd.

    desired output

    IDCode
    1234504,01,03

    Can anyone please help me develop this logic.

  • One option would be to concatenate the values of the rows using for xml path and stuff - along the lines of:

    SELECT DISTINCT ID, 
    STUFF((
    SELECT ', ' + CODE
    FROM #X1
    ORDER BY PrimaryInd DESC
    FOR XML PATH('')
    ), 1, 1, '')
    AS Code
    FROM #X1

    Sue
