sql server - T-SQL: Combine rows to one row





I have the following table:



number  word
====== ====
1 AAA

2 BBB
2 CCCC
4 CCCC
4 BBB
4 AAA


Now I want to create a new table, where a "number" only occurs in one row. The corresponding values in "word" should be converted to comma sepeareted string.



The result table:




number  word
====== ====
1 AAA
2 BBB,CCCC
4 CCCCC,BBB,AAA


How can this solved with T-SQL? Thanks in advance.

I started so I may as well post mine too...



CREATE TABLE #test
(
ID tinyint
,Word varchar(20)
);
INSERT INTO #test
VALUES
(1,'aaa')

,(1,'bbb')
,(2,'abc')
,(2,'def')
,(2,'ghi')
,(3,'zzz');

SELECT DISTINCT
a.ID
,STUFF((
SELECT

',' + b.Word
FROM #test b
WHERE a.ID = b.ID
FOR XML PATH('')
),1,1,'') AS [Contains]
FROM #test a
