SQL COALESCE

This is how it is done....

If you want to pivot the data you could run the following command.

DECLARE @DepartmentName VARCHAR(1000)

SELECT @DepartmentName = COALESCE(@DepartmentName,'') + Name + ';'
FROM HumanResources.Department
WHERE (GroupName = 'Executive General and Administration')

SELECT @DepartmentName AS DepartmentNames

and get the following result set.
