MSSQL CSV Select Column
I always need this and it is really simple but I don’t use it enough to remember how to do it each time. This will take the ID column of the selection and create a CSV field for my use elsewhere:
select substring(( select ',' + CAST(questionid as VARCHAR) from quiz_questions order by questionid for xml path('')),2,200000) as CSV
Notice I had to CAST the integer key column to a VARCHAR.
Here is the “greater” reference:

Did I mention this guy is great?
