sql server programming:

This is nasty question but...

How can I take the following data from a table:

ID ItemNumber Type
1 9830302 CD
2 9830302 Cassette

And run a select statement to get me:

ID ItemNumber Type
1 9830302 CD/Cassette

Thanks,
Ron

em,you have post the sample data and the acquire is not very clear
although :)
You can use one select statement to implement this select at this
issue but can not catch it
when you want multi rows return,i think you can use udf to do this
trick.
some code here for your problem,hope this can help you.
create function u_concatedstring(@ItemNumber numeric(??))
returns varchar(8000)
as
declare @ret varchar(8000)
select @ret =3D ''
select @ret =3D @ret + Type + '/' from tablename
where ItemNumber =3D @ItemNumber<where clause here>
go

select min(ID) ,ItemNumber ,cType =3D concatedstring(ItemNumber )
from table
group by ItemNumber

----sql server 2005

Use demo

GO

CREATE TABLE DBO.Test (ID INT,ItemNumber INT, [Type] VARCHAR(20))

INSERT INTO DBO.Test VALUES (1,9830302,'CD')

INSERT INTO DBO.Test VALUES (2,9830302,'Cassette')

SELECT ItemNumber,

( SELECT m2.[Type] + ','

FROM DBO.Test m2

WHERE m2.ItemNumber = m1.ItemNumber

ORDER BY [Type]

FOR XML PATH('') ) AS [Type]

FROM DBO.Test m1

GROUP BY ItemNumber;
