Hi,
I have a table named details. It has 3 fields vendorID,itemID and ItemName. I need to add more than one vendor for a particular item. For example:
vendor ID:1,2,3
ItemID:1

I need to store values in my table in the above model.
Please help me.

Don't.
It's a very bad idea, and you will have to do a heck of a lot of work to use the information later - SQL can't store more than one numeric value in a column, so you would have to store it as a commas separated string: which means it doesn't relate directly to the actual vendors at all.
Instead, add another table which relates ItemID to VendorID, and add three rows to that.
