How Stuff and For Xml Path work in SQL Server

0 votes

Table is:

Id Firstname
4 abc
4 def
4 ghi
4 jkl
4 mno

Required output:

Id Name
4 abc,def,ghi,jkl,mno

Query:

SELECT ID, 
    Name = STUFF(
                 (SELECT ',' + firstname FROM temp FOR XML PATH ('')), 1, 1, ''
               ) 
FROM temp GROUP BY ID

This query is working but I want to know the reason how it is working or if there is any other  way to get this done
