Hi All,
I have a table structure like this:
Table structure
Pk,fk Pk,fk Pk,fk Pk,fk Pk,fk Pk Value1 Value 2
A1 A2 A3 A4 A5 1 xx yy
A1 A2 A3 A4 A5 2 xxx yyy
A1 A2 A3 A4 A5 3 a b
A1 B2 A3 A4 A5 4 aa bb
B1 A2 A3 A4 A5 5 aaa bbb
B1 B2 B3 B4 B5 6 d e
B1 B2 B3 B4 B5 7 dd ee
B1 B3 C3 B4 B5 8 ddd eee

In the above table (pk,fk) constitutes one column and first 6 columns make composite kesy to the table.

Now i have to write a query which gives output like this:

A1 A2 A3 A4 A5 xx yy xxx yyy a b
A1 B2 A3 A4 A5 aa bb
B1 A2 A3 A4 A5 aaa bbb
B1 B2 B3 B4 B5 d e dd ee
B1 B2 C3 B4 B5 ddd eee

Please help me!!

[code]
SELECT Col1,Col2,Col3,Col4,Col5,
STUFF((SELECT ',' + Value1 + ' ' + Value2 FROM table
WHERE Col1=t.Col1
AND Col2= t.Col2
AND Col3 = t.Col3
AND Col4 = t.Col4
AND Col5 = t.Col5
ORDER BY Col6
FOR XML PATH('')),1,1,'')
FROM (SELECT DISTINCT Col1,Col2,Col3,Col4,Col5 FROM Table)t
[/code]
