Please don't do this!

Make a query to produce a *RESULT* like that, yes. But please don't create a new table like that. You will lose the ability to make many kinds of good queries when you store data in a concatenated list like that.

Anyway:

This is a very general answer:

But if you only have a single ID value then you can do it more simply:
