Sql Question

2002-04-30 Thread kranti pushkarna
Hi List, Can someone give a SQL query to retuen all values in paricular column in comma separed format. e.g. suppose I fire "select deptno from dept" the output would be like Deptno 10 20 30 40 I want the output like 10,20,30,40. I am just wondering can it be done in a single query.
