Combine multiple results in a subquery into a single comma-separated value

Even this will serve the purpose

Sample data

declare @t table(id int, name varchar(20),somecolumn varchar(MAX))
insert into @t
    select 1,'ABC','X' union all
    select 1,'ABC','Y' union all
    select 1,'ABC','Z' union all
    select 2,'MNO','R' union all
    select 2,'MNO','S'

Query:

SELECT ID,Name,
    STUFF((SELECT ',' + CAST(T2.SomeColumn AS VARCHAR(MAX))
     FROM @T T2 WHERE T1.id = T2.id AND T1.name = T2.name
     FOR XML PATH('')),1,1,'') SOMECOLUMN
FROM @T T1
GROUP BY id,Name

Output:

ID  Name    SomeColumn
1   ABC     X,Y,Z
2   MNO     R,S

1. Create the UDF:

CREATE FUNCTION CombineValues
(
    @FK_ID INT -- The foreign key from TableA which is used 
               -- to fetch corresponding records
)
RETURNS VARCHAR(8000)
AS
BEGIN
DECLARE @SomeColumnList VARCHAR(8000);

SELECT @SomeColumnList =
    COALESCE(@SomeColumnList + ', ', '') + CAST(SomeColumn AS varchar(20)) 
FROM TableB C
WHERE C.FK_ID = @FK_ID;

RETURN 
(
    SELECT @SomeColumnList
)
END

2. Use in subquery:

SELECT ID, Name, dbo.CombineValues(FK_ID) FROM TableA

3. If you are using stored procedure you can do like this:

CREATE PROCEDURE GetCombinedValues
 @FK_ID int
As
BEGIN
DECLARE @SomeColumnList VARCHAR(800)
SELECT @SomeColumnList =
    COALESCE(@SomeColumnList + ', ', '') + CAST(SomeColumn AS varchar(20)) 
FROM TableB
WHERE FK_ID = @FK_ID 

Select *, @SomeColumnList as SelectedIds
    FROM 
        TableA
    WHERE 
        FK_ID = @FK_ID 
END

In MySQL there is a group_concat function that will return what you're asking for.

SELECT TableA.ID, TableA.Name, group_concat(TableB.SomeColumn) 
as SomColumnGroup FROM TableA LEFT JOIN TableB ON 
TableB.TableA_ID = TableA.ID

I think you are on the right track with COALESCE. See here for an example of building a comma-delimited string:

You may need to provide some more details for a more precise response.

Since your dataset seems kind of narrow, you might consider just using a row per result and performing the post-processing at the client.

So if you are really looking to make the server do the work return a result set like

ID       Name       SomeColumn
1        ABC        X
1        ABC        Y
1        ABC        Z
2        MNO        R
2        MNO        S

which of course is a simple INNER JOIN on ID

Once you have the resultset back at the client, maintain a variable called CurrentName and use that as a trigger when to stop collecting SomeColumn into the useful thing you want it to do.

Assuming you only have WHERE clauses on table A create a stored procedure thus:

SELECT Id, Name From tableA WHERE ...

SELECT tableA.Id AS ParentId, Somecolumn 
FROM tableA INNER JOIN tableB on TableA.Id = TableB.F_Id 
WHERE ...

Then fill a DataSet ds with it. Then

ds.Relations.Add("foo", ds.Tables[0].Columns("Id"), ds.Tables[1].Columns("ParentId"));

Finally you can add a repeater in the page that puts the commas for every line

 <asp:DataList ID="Subcategories" DataKeyField="ParentCatId" 
DataSource='<%# Container.DataItem.CreateChildView("foo") %>' RepeatColumns="1"
 RepeatDirection="Horizontal" ItemStyle-HorizontalAlign="left" ItemStyle-VerticalAlign="top" 
runat="server" >

In this way you will do it client side but with only one query, passing minimal data between database and frontend

Solution below:

SELECT GROUP_CONCAT(field_attr_best_weekday_value)as RAVI
FROM content_field_attr_best_weekday LEFT JOIN content_type_attraction
    on content_field_attr_best_weekday.nid = content_type_attraction.nid
GROUP BY content_field_attr_best_weekday.nid

Use this, you also can change the Joins
