Question: I want to write a custom aggregate function that concatenates string on group by.

So that I can do a

SELECT SUM(FIELD1) as f1, MYCONCAT(FIELD2)  as f2
FROM TABLE_XY
GROUP BY FIELD1, FIELD2

All I find is SQL CRL aggregate functions, but I need SQL, without CLR.



Edit:1
The query should look like this:

   SELECT SUM(FIELD1) as f1, MYCONCAT(FIELD2)  as f2
    FROM TABLE_XY
    GROUP BY FIELD0



Edit 2:
It is true that it isn't possible without CLR.
However, the subselect answer by astander can be modified so it doesn't XML-encode special characters.

The subtle change for this is to add this after "FOR XML PATH": ,

 TYPE 
                  ).value('.[1]', 'nvarchar(MAX)') 

Here a few examples

DECLARE @tT table([A] varchar(200), [B] varchar(200));

INSERT INTO @tT VALUES ('T_A', 'C_A');
INSERT INTO @tT VALUES ('T_A', 'C_B');
INSERT INTO @tT VALUES ('T_B', 'C_A');
INSERT INTO @tT VALUES ('T_C', 'C_A');
INSERT INTO @tT VALUES ('T_C', 'C_B');
INSERT INTO @tT VALUES ('T_C', 'C_C');

SELECT 
      A AS [A]
      ,
      ( 
            STUFF 
            ( 
                    ( 
                             SELECT DISTINCT 
                                   ', ' + tempT.B AS wtf 
                             FROM @tT AS tempT 
                             WHERE (1=1) 
                             --AND tempT.TT_Status = 1 
                             AND tempT.A = myT.A 
                             ORDER BY wtf 
                             FOR XML PATH, TYPE 
                    ).value('.[1]', 'nvarchar(MAX)') 
                    , 1, 2, '' 
            ) 
      ) AS [B] 
FROM @tT AS myT
GROUP BY A 





SELECT 
      ( 
            SELECT 
                  ',äöü<>' + RM_NR AS [text()] 
            FROM T_Room 
            WHERE RM_
