I posted this problem over at [a href="[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Topic1002255-338-1.aspx"[/URL]]SQL Server Central[/a] but had problems with my data and framing the problem so I try it here. I appreciate any help.

I need to bring up the "many" attribute to a single row and into a csv column without using the FOR XML PATH method.

This method does provide the desired result but is very very slow.

Code:
SELECT
    cl.Receipt,
    cl.XDATE,
    STUFF((SELECT
            ', ' + CAST(cla.Associates AS VARCHAR(1000))
           FROM
            @tblControlLogAssociates AS cla
           WHERE
            cl.Receipt = cla.Receipt
          FOR
           XML PATH('')), 1, 1, '') AS [Associates]
FROM
    @tblControlLog AS cl;

Using the methos above is extremely inefficient on large data sets.

Here is the sample data for the ONE table.
Code:
DECLARE @tblControlLog TABLE (Receipt NVARCHAR(50), XDate NVARCHAR(20))
INSERT INTO @tblControlLog Values('SGE101007063342',    '10/07/2010')

I know this is not correct, but here is what I'm working with at the moment.
Code:
SELECT
  cl.Receipt
, cl.XDate
, cla.Assoc

FROM
(
SELECT RowNumber = ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY Receipt ASC)
, cl.Receipt
, cl.XDate
FROM @tblControlLog as cl
) cl

LEFT JOIN
(
SELECT RowNumber = ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY Receipt, Associates ASC)
, cla.Receipt
, cla.Associates AS Assoc

FROM @tblControlLogAssociates cla
) cla

ON cl.Receipt = cla.Receipt 
--AND cl.RowNumber <= cla.RowNumber

GROUP BY  cl.Receipt, cl.XDate , cla.Assoc

ORDER BY cl.Receipt, cl.XDate


This is the desired result
