hello,

I'm moving to new e-commerce platform and I need to modify the way I
store my products.
My current layout for products in multiple category:
sku|category_id
V82|1
V82|2
V82|3

New layout:
sku|category_id
V82|1,2,3

Is there any way to make the transition in SQL? I have it all in
Access but I'm not VB guy and if possible would like to do it in SQL
if it's possible.

Thanks,
JP

That sounds like a really bad idea to denormalize the data like that.
Perhaps you would consider leaving the design in place, and use a
special query in those few instances where you want the data output
that way. Here is an article that may help with that:

Why not just slit your wrists or drink poison?
