Concatenate Each Row column values into string with comma seperated in SQL - sql

Question

I'm using the AdventureWorks2008R2 sample database.
i need an output like each row should be concatenated into string(column values will be separated by commas)
This is my code:
create proc sales5
as begin
declare #SalesPersonID int
create table #table
(
id int identity(1,1) primary key clustered,
SalesPersonID int
)
create table #table1
(
SalesPersonID int null ,
PostalCode nvarchar (15) null,City varchar (30) null
)
insert into #table
select distinct
SA.BusinessEntityID
from
Sales.SalesPerson SA
join
Sales.SalesOrderHeader S on S.SalesPersonID = SA.BusinessEntityID
and S.SalesPersonID is not null
;WITH CTE
AS (
SELECT DISTINCT s.SalesPersonID
, CAST(A.PostalCode AS NVARCHAR(25)) AS PostalCode
, A.City
, CAST(s.SalesPersonID AS VARCHAR(MAX)) AS SortOrder
FROM Sales.SalesOrderHeader S(NOLOCK)
, Person.Person P(NOLOCK)
, Person.Address A(NOLOCK)
, #table t
WHERE s.SalesPersonID IS NOT NULL
AND S.SalesPersonID = P.BusinessEntityID
AND S.SalesPersonID = A.AddressID
AND S.SalesPersonID IN ('274')
UNION ALL
SELECT a.SalesOrderID
, a.SalesOrderNumber
, NULL
, C.SortOrder + CAST(a.SalesOrderID AS VARCHAR(MAX))
FROM CTE C
INNER JOIN Sales.SalesOrderHeader A(NOLOCK)
ON A.SalesPersonID = C.SalesPersonID
)
SELECT *
FROM cte
union all
select
cast ( P.BusinessEntityID as nvarchar(50)),
cast (P.NationalIDNumber as nvarchar(30)),
cast (P.Gender as nvarchar(20)),
cast (P.BusinessEntityID as VARCHAR(MAX)) + cast ('1' as VARCHAR(MAX))
from HumanResources.Employee P(nolock)
where exists(
select 1 from CTE C
where P.BusinessEntityID=C.SalesPersonID )
ORDER BY SortOrder
set nocount off
end
My output is like :
SalesPersonID PostalCode City SortOrder
274 98027 Issaquah 274
274 502097814 M 2741
43849 SO43849 NULL 27443849
44082 SO44082 NULL 27444082
44508 SO44508 NULL 27444508
44532 SO44532 NULL 27444532
My Expected Output:
274,98027,Issaquah
274,502097814,M
43849,SO43849
44082,SO44082
44508,SO44508
44532,SO44532
Note:no need of sortorder Column ,thats y i necglected in output.
Any one please help on this..
Thanks in advance.

You can concatenate your result using + or CONCAT like this.
SELECT LTRIM(SalesPersonID) + ',' + LTRIM(PostalCode) + ISNULL(',' + LTRIM(City),'')
FROM CTE2
ORDER BY SortOrder

;WITH CTE
AS (
SELECT DISTINCT s.SalesPersonID
, CAST(A.PostalCode AS NVARCHAR(25)) AS PostalCode
, A.City
, CAST(s.SalesPersonID AS VARCHAR(MAX)) AS SortOrder
FROM Sales.SalesOrderHeader S(NOLOCK)
, Person.Person P(NOLOCK)
, Person.Address A(NOLOCK)
, #table t
WHERE s.SalesPersonID IS NOT NULL
AND S.SalesPersonID = P.BusinessEntityID
AND S.SalesPersonID = A.AddressID
AND S.SalesPersonID IN ('274')
UNION ALL
SELECT a.SalesOrderID
, a.SalesOrderNumber
, NULL
, C.SortOrder + CAST(a.SalesOrderID AS VARCHAR(MAX))
FROM CTE C
INNER JOIN Sales.SalesOrderHeader A(NOLOCK)
ON A.SalesPersonID = C.SalesPersonID
), CTE2 as
(
SELECT *
FROM cte
union all
select
cast ( P.BusinessEntityID as nvarchar(50)),
cast (P.NationalIDNumber as nvarchar(30)),
cast (P.Gender as nvarchar(20)),
cast (P.BusinessEntityID as VARCHAR(MAX)) + cast ('1' as VARCHAR(MAX))
from HumanResources.Employee P(nolock)
where exists(
select 1 from CTE C
where P.BusinessEntityID=C.SalesPersonID )
)
SELECT LTRIM(SalesPersonID) + ',' + LTRIM(PostalCode) + ISNULL(',' + LTRIM(City),'')
FROM CTE2
ORDER BY SortOrder
