    --Create Table Cust(CustID int,CustName varchar(20))Insert into Cust Values(1,'Rohit')Insert into Cust Values(2,'Amit')Insert into Cust Values(3,'Sumit')Insert into Cust Values(3,'Punit')
  2. Execute this script: 
    Declare @Names Varchar(2000)Select @Names=Isnull(@Names+','+CustName,CustName)From CustSelect @Names
  3. You will get this result:
