如何使用分隔符将列结果转换为单个字符串

Question

我有一个愚蠢的问题，我无法在Teradata中解决。

我有n个表和n个表中的每一个表（n> 1000）我必须得到表的列，这可能因表而异。

我的问题是：我怎样才能得到结果从一个查询在一个字符串（像Select columnName from dbc.columns where tablename = table1），让我们说_vColumns，为了能够在以后的价值在排序（_vColumns）在动态使用SQL语法？

我这样做，long ago使用dbc.columns

/*** Rows to concatenated string ***/ 
/*** Nested version instead of hundreds of CASEs. 
     Returns a single concatenated string consisting of up to 2048 
columnnames ***/ 
SELECT 
    databasename 
,tablename 
,max(case when rnk mod 16 = 0 then ColumnName else '' end) || 
    max(case when rnk mod 16 = 1 then ',' || ColumnName else '' end) || 
    max(case when rnk mod 16 = 2 then ',' || ColumnName else '' end) || 
    max(case when rnk mod 16 = 3 then ',' || ColumnName else '' end) ||

    (
     select 
     databasename

        order by columnid) -1 as rnk 
     from 
     dbc.columns 
    ) dt 
    group by 1,2,3 
    )dt 
    group by 1,2,3 
)dt 
group by 1,2 

但是，因为Td14.10你应该使用dbc.Column V代替（如果你超过30个字符有任何列名更长的时间），然后为2048 * 128字符将达到64000个字符的最大限制...
