Need some quick help on SQL.....DTS packages.

I’ve loaded data from text files into a table which is in the following format.....



Seq_No | Row_No | Data

1 1 ABC

2 2 DEF

3 3 GHI

4 4 JKL

5 1 MNO

6 2 PQR

7 3 STU

8 4 VWX



Every four lines correspond to one single logical record. So, all the data in every 4 rows have to be combined into one big string which’ll then be loaded into one col of another temporary table .....structure below.....



Record_No Data

1 ABCDEFGHIJKL

2 MNOPQRSTUVWX



I’m looking for a way to achieve this WITHOUT using Cursors (as it’ll slow down performance)......


please give us information on SET PROCESS.
Any suggestions will be highly appreciated."
