Hi all,

One of our developer is trying to scan a table of 120 rows and display one column from all the rows in single row. Using the following PL/SQL code we can display each value from each row in different line.

    Declare
     sn varchar2(20);
    cursor c_devices is
     select name from ashoke;
    Begin
    for v_devices in c_devices loop

     sn := v_devices.name;
     dbms_output.put_line(sn || ',');

    end loop;
   End;

Instead of displaying the value from each row on a different line

xxxx,
xyxx,
uuuu,
jjjj,
ttgg,

we need the output to be : xxxx,xyxx,uuuu,jjjj,ttgg

Could you please tell me if this can be done using put procedure of dbms_output package or using any sql statement.

Thanks,
Ashoke
