I am trying to find the best way to consolidate the string in the fields that have the same value. Please look at the example below:
Table1:
Column1 | Column2 | Column3 | Column4
test1 test2 test3 string1
test1 test2 test3 string2
test4 test5 test6 string3
test4 test5 test6 string4
The result need to be inserted to Table2 like following:
Table2:
Column1 | Column2 | Column3 | Column4
test1 test2 test3 string1 string2
test4 test5 test6 string3 string4
I need to avoid Cursors please. Thank you.
Please note: I can not use the XML PATH.
The following query wouldn't work:
SELECT
m.Column1,m.Column2,m.Column3
, Column4 = STUFF((
SELECT ' ' + Column4
FROM dbo.Table1
FOR XML PATH(''), TYPE).value('.', 'varchar(max)'), 1, 1, '')
FROM dbo.Table1 m

Similar @morsik but for SQL Server they'll need this one: stackoverflow.com/questions/17591490/… which is mentioned in your post but as the third answer. MySQL was accepted.
