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.
