hi,
Following code will work but you might have to customize it to fit
your requirement.
declare @table table (o_id int, o_name varchar(50))
declare @dog table (d_id int, d_name varchar(50),o_id int)
declare @owner_dogs table(o_id int, o_name varchar(50), d_name
varchar(50))
insert @table values (1,'John')
insert @dog values(1,'Skippy',1)
insert @dog values(2,'Fido',1)
declare @dog_name varchar(50)
while (select count(*) from @dog) > 0
begin
set rowcount 1
if @dog_name is null
begin
select @dog_name = d_name
from @dog
where o_id = 1
end
else
select @dog_name = @dog_name + ', ' + d_name
from @dog
where o_id = 1
delete @dog
end
insert @owner_dogs values(1,'John',@dog_name)
select * from @owner_dogs
set rowcount 0
