Hi,

I run the following query "SELECT * FROM tbl_A", and get the following
result set:

Surname Firstname
Smith John
Smith Richard
Smith Simon

What I want to see in my result set is:

Surname Firstname
Smith John, Richard, Simon

How do I achieve this?

Thanks

Can you do it in the client? This kind of thing is extremely inefficient in
SQL Server.

If you must do it in SQL Server, refer to the following:
