Been looking at this from different dngles and read multiple post but still cant get this right. Can someone provide some guidance/help? Please, Thank you!

Trying to run this in Synapse and getting errors due to the incompatible FOR XML PATH near the end. This is a code that handles table metadata for imports. The last column will stuff the number of columns into a single line so the it can be used in a code run in sql.

    SELECT source_system_table_metadata.*,
       CASE
         WHEN full_load = 'Y' THEN 'Truncate Table ' + target_schema + '.'
                                   + target_table
         ELSE 'Delete from ' + target_schema + '.'
              + target_table + ' Where '
              + target_filter_column_name + ' > '''
              + source_filter_column_value + ''''
       END AS Target_Table_Pre_SQL,
       CASE
         WHEN full_load = 'Y' THEN 'Where 1=1'
         ELSE 'Where ' + source_filter_column_name + '>' + ''''
              + source_filter_column_value + ''''
       END Source_Table_Filter,
       CASE
         WHEN col_list IS NULL THEN '*'
         ELSE replace(col_list,'"','')
       END col_list
FROM   [gp].[source_system_table_metadata]
       CROSS apply 
            (SELECT Stuff(
                        (SELECT
                                 ','
                                         + CONVERT(VARCHAR(200), source_column +
                                 ' as '
                                 +
                           source_column_alias)
                                  FROM  [gp].[source_system_column_metadata]
                                  WHERE
                           source_system_table_metadata.metadata_table_id =
       source_system_column_metadata.metadata_table_id
       FOR xml path(''), type
                        ).value('.', 'VARCHAR(MAX)' ), 1, 1, ''
                        ) AS col_list
            )table_columns
       Where isnull(active_status,'N') = 'Y'

Have the code run and concatenate the Stuff in the last piece correctly in Synapse
