You can use a hierarchical query:
SELECT REPLACE(SYS_CONNECT_BY_PATH(name, '|'), '|') AS names FROM ( SELECT ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY name) AS rn, name FROM emp ) START WITH rn = 1 CONNECT BY PRIOR rn + 1 = rn;
Which, for the sample data:
CREATE TABLE emp (name) AS SELECT 'A' FROM DUAL UNION ALL SELECT 'B' FROM DUAL UNION ALL SELECT 'C' FROM DUAL UNION ALL SELECT 'D' FROM DUAL;
Outputs:
NAMES A AB ABC ABCD
