Hi Friend,
I need your help vvery badly.There is a requrement like
sql> desc tn_table;
tn_code   tn_type
--------  -------
T1        BAT
T1        Wicket
T1        Light
T2        BALL
T3        Dress
T3        Bag


our output is to be
tn_code                        tn_type
--------                       -------
T1,BAT,Wicket,Light            Light
T2                             BALL
T3,Dress,Bag                   Bag


if for same tn_code there is more than one tn_type then append the tn_code by comma.

Without using any loop can we do this . because loop takes a lots of time. The table contains more than 100 000 records.

kindly give me some suggestions.
Thankins in advance

[Mod-edit: Frank added code-tags]

Always please search before posting.
This is a frequently asked question.
You may want to tweak a little for to get the "last repeat append".

Here is one more method that wasn't mentioned in that link.

SCOTT@orcl_11g> CREATE TABLE tn_table
  2    (tn_code  VARCHAR2 (7),
  3  	tn_type  VARCHAR2 (7))
  4  /

Table created.

SCOTT@orcl_11g> INSERT ALL
  2  INTO tn_table VALUES ('T1', 'BAT')
  3  INTO tn_table VALUES ('T1', 'Wicket')
  4  INTO tn_table VALUES ('T1', 'Light')
  5  INTO tn_table VALUES ('T2', 'BALL')
  6  INTO tn_table VALUES ('T3', 'Dress')
  7  INTO tn_table VALUES ('T3', 'Bag')
  8  SELECT * FROM DUAL
  9  /

6 rows created.

SCOTT@orcl_11g> COLUMN tn_type FORMAT A30
SCOTT@orcl_11g> SELECT tn_code,
  2  	    RTRIM
  3  	      (XMLAGG (XMLELEMENT (C, tn_type || ',') ORDER BY ROWID).EXTRACT ('//text ()'),
  4  	      ',' ) AS tn_type
  5  FROM   tn_table
  6  GROUP  BY tn_code
  7  /

TN_CODE TN_TYPE
------- ------------------------------
T1      BAT,Wicket,Light
T2      BALL
T3      Dress,Bag

SCOTT@orcl_11g>

I added code-tags around the desired output in the original post.
I can't see the logic of it..

It looks different with the code tags. I previously thought some things that were in the first column were in the second column. So, it would be something more like below, although there needs to be something more reliable than rowid to get the last tn_type, such as a date or numeric column. There would also need to be some modification if you don't want BALL in the first column.

SCOTT@orcl_11g> COLUMN tn_code FORMAT A30
SCOTT@orcl_11g> COLUMN tn_type FORMAT A15
SCOTT@orcl_11g> SELECT tn_code || ',' || wm_concat (tn_type) AS tn_code,
  2  	    MAX (tn_type) KEEP (DENSE_RANK LAST ORDER BY ROWID) AS tn_type
  3  FROM   tn_table
  4  GROUP  BY tn_code
  5  ORDER  BY tn_code
  6  /

TN_CODE                        TN_TYPE
------------------------------ ---------------
T1,BAT,Wicket,Light            Light
T2,BALL                        BALL
T3,Dress,Bag                   Bag

SCOTT@orcl_11g>
