constructing strings from table

Hi friends,
i have to select values from the table consider with the following
record:
No HomePhone WorkPhone Mobile
20 23232 98327
the selection have to be done as:
No DeviceType DeviceInfo
20 HomePhone, Mobile 23232, 98327
since there is no value for workphone it have to be removed in both
devicetype and deviceinfo column.
Thanks

Something like (assuming NULL when you say "no value"):
SELECT
No
,'HomePhone, ' + CASE WHEN WorkPhone IS NULL THEN 'WorkPhone' + ', ' ELSE '' END + 'Mobile' AS
DeviceType
,HomePhone + ', ' + COALESCE(WorkPhone + ', ', '') + Mobile
FROM ...

What about something like:
SELECT No,
CASE WHEN HomePhone IS NULL THEN '' ELSE 'HomePhone' END +
CASE WHEN WorkPhone IS NULL THEN '' ELSE 'WorkPhone' END +
CASE WHEN Mobile IS NULL THEN '' ELSE 'Mobile' END
AS DeviceType,
CASE WHEN HomePhone IS NULL THEN '' ELSE HomePhone END +
CASE WHEN WorkPhone IS NULL THEN '' ELSE WorkPhone END +
CASE WHEN Mobile IS NULL THEN '' ELSE Mobile END
AS DeviceInfo
FROM TableName
(You will need to add a bit of logic to work out where to put the commas)
