Hi Archana,
I guess the key would be concatenating the various products into a
single line. Here's a basic concatenation function that will get all
your products into a single string, based on email and company:
CREATE FUNCTION dbo.ufn_concatProducts(
@email varchar(255)
, @company varchar(255))
RETURNS varchar(255)
AS
BEGIN
DECLARE @productList varchar(8000)
SELECT
@productList = coalesce(@productList + ',', '') + product
FROM
tbl
WHERE
email = @email AND
company = @company
RETURN(@productList)
END
GO
Now, you just have to query your string together:
SELECT
email + ' - ' +
company + ' - ' +
dbo.ufn_concatProducts(email, company) AS ProductList
FROM
tbl
GROUP BY
email
, company
Have fun!
