Convert Column results to delimited string in TSQL


Use the below to convert the results of a query from this
123
125
156
254
214
To
123,125,156,254,214



DECLARE @result varchar(1000)

SET @result = ''

SELECT @result = @result + cast(order_id as varchar) + ',' FROM tblorders WHERE tblstatus = 2

select substring(@result, 0, len(@result))

This has worked for me no problems you can change the delimiter by changing the ' ,'



Original code that this was based on can be  found here
