'stuff' and 'for xml path('')' from SQL Server in Postgresql

Question

I\'m migrating some SQL Server 2008R2 queries to Postgresql 9.0 and I have some trouble with it. Here\'s the SQL Server query:

stuff((select \', \'+p.[NAME]          


        

Answer 1

You can use string_agg instead.

SQL Fiddle

PostgreSQL 9.1.6 Schema Setup:

create table T
(
  Name varchar(10)
);

insert into T values('Kalle');
insert into T values('Pelle');
insert into T values('Urban');

Query 1:

select string_agg(Name, ',') as Names
from T

Results:

|             NAMES |
---------------------
| Kalle,Pelle,Urban |
