Actually What I am looking is the big list in single SQL query and cannot use the PL sql or allowed to create the SQL function, I had finally used good points from all reply and created the following SQL. Here I used file_name from dba_data_files . I thought it is good to share as somebody who is reall expert in SQL can do some more fine-tuning. This will atleast work good for mine requirement but may give some issue if the Text cross the Concat restriction. select text from ( select verse, lvl, text, rank() over(partition by verse order by lvl desc) rn from ( SELECT verse, LEVEL lvl, SYS_CONNECT_BY_PATH(file_name, ',') text FROM ( select 1 verse, rownum piece, file_name from dba_data_files ) CONNECT BY verse = PRIOR verse AND piece - 1 = PRIOR piece START WITH piece = 1 )x ) y where rn=1 / Any advice or suggestion are most welcome.
