Querying MS SQL Server: Using STUFF Function (Trans-SQL)

Querying MS SQL Server: Using STUFF Function (Trans-SQL)

Write an SQL query that displays book title, ISBN, and authors for each title.
If there are multiple authors, display them all together in one line,
each name separated by a '|' character.

NOTE: This is similar to concatenating strings, but in this context normal concatenation will not work. Instead, we will use STUFF function to get the desired results.

where b.id = c.QuestionId
FOR XML PATH(''), TYPE
).value('.', 'NVARCHAR(MAX)')
, 1,0,'') as All_value

stuff doesn't concatenate, it's the for xml path that do it, stuff is only taking off the first character after you concatenate everything with xml path
